this is one of those "roadside snaps" taken a couple of days ago on my trip to the eastern part of the state. i got to looking at it, and the contrast and colors and layers simply SCREAMED panoramic, so here it is... i've cropped this and resized it a bit to make a 20x40 print, and i'm guessing it'd look pretty darned good on canvas!! ;D

    I like this one a lot Rocky!! It looks like a giant foot print on the top of the highest hill. Great color.

    Very cool, Rocky! Any idea what creates the swaths of gold through the area?

    thanks, Joel... not sure on what causes it, but i 'm guessing it's a difference in either the crop itself, or in the stage of maturity... the gold swath is riper, more mature wheat and the greens were perhaps planted later, and are not yet ripened...

    Hi Ron
    Love the colouring. How did you achieve this. Or shouldn't I ask?
    Beautiful. The reason I ask I have some golf courses near me and I am sure this technique of coloring would look good.
    Cheers
    Bob

    well, Bob, if golf courses start planting wheat, they might be able to get something close... ;)

    It was the green colouring I was interested in for the golf courses. Not the wheat colour.

    didn't take anything special... the colors are what it looked like, all i did was increase the contrast and saturation a touch to make it "pop"...

    thanks, Phil! i saw this and immediately thought "panoramic"... the lines, the bold colors... perfectly suited for a pano, especially on canvas...

    squirl033 I really like the color contrast. Those crops remind me of soybeans. They do the same thing if the crops are planted at different times. Some cases I've seen some crops planted at the same time do that just from one section getting more water than another.:D
