Field of Dreams [Digital Darkroom]
Uploaded: June 26, 2008 10:18:38
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.

Totally diggin' the color, Cary!Renata Gusciora June 26, 2008
Love the color! #6110179Daniella Puente June 26, 2008
You did right Cary, this looks AMAZING! #6110339Cary Rogers June 26, 2008
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. #6110964Chuck S. Frizzell June 26, 2008
Looks like a parade of Vegas show girls or flamingos. Love the color, great job. #6111926Cary Rogers June 27, 2008
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! #6113555Dianna Hauf July 07, 2008

Thank you, UB! Thank you, UB! Grass has been very good to me as a photographic subject! ;-) #7039818Patricia A. Stalter February 01, 2009
Oh goodness, I am late at giving you my kudos! Good on you!!! #7115404Cary Rogers February 01, 2009
Thanks, Patricia~! :-) This photo wasn't a recent win, though; it was clear back from July 2008. I use it in my gallery as a placeholder for the beginning of a new contest month. Thanks again! #7115982Murry Grigsby February 16, 2009
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!! #7172902Cary Rogers February 16, 2009
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. ;-) #7173487M.Christine Duncan February 27, 2009
Like a dream!!! I realize this is an older win, but congrats anyways... the light and color are divine! #7222028Cary Rogers February 27, 2009
Thank you for coming by and commenting, Christine! The lighting on these grasses was very special that day, but there was a slight wind that I had to work around! Thanks again~! #7222791Dianna Murphy May 02, 2009

A real eye catcher Cary. Would look just perfect in my dining room. Very nice work! #7596593Cary Rogers June 04, 2009
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. #7597152

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. #7656517
