Field of Dreams

To add a little more visual interest--and because I didn't like the shade of green in the original capture--I shifted the hue to this color and adjusted the saturation.

  Thank you, Cheryl, Renata, and Daniella! I appreciate your encouraging comments! One of the challenges I had with capturing this field of grass was that the light kept changing (clouds) and the wind was unpredictable ... but the scene itself was wonderfully "dreamy" looking.

  Hi Chuck ... thanks for stopping by and commenting! There were a couple of patches of this grass in a huge field, and the shimmering effect really caught my attention!

This has a wonderful carefree, breezy feel to it Cary! GREAT color to 'showcase' the movement of the grasses!

Murry Grigsby
  I had missed this one too Cary! What a great change and result with the hue slider! This field looks like one of those sugary kids cereal that will be followed by Pepto-Bismo :0) Great light, action and full frame COLOR!!

Cary Rogers
  Thanks, Murry! The original color of these grasses was a pale, grayish-green...so, I thought I'd shift the color and give it a new look! The new color is a bit like purged strawberry pop, ice cream, and Pepto-Bismal. ;-)

  Thank you for your great comments, Karen, and Dick! Although I would have preferred less wind when I sot this field, it worked pretty well with the subject matter.

  Thanks for dropping by and leaving me a comment, Stephen! Last week I went to the area where I shot this photo (in 2008), to see if the grass had gone to seed yet, and the whole field looked completely different. I'm glad I was able to get the shots I did, last year.
