Taken near Cambria on the Central Coast. Green hills everywhere. Just a matter of finding good spot along road to shoot. I went for the big view. C&C always welcome.

    A nice view, however I feel it lacks contrast. Also if the blue in the sky could be darkened some, you'd have a great looking photo. The scene looks pleasant for sure...I suppose that was private property, could you have gotten closer to the barn? Good work..

    Sweet scene! I agree it might be worth trying some additional contrast and making the sky bluer. Although it seems to fit the style of processing you use in other photos in your gallery so may this is your style. It's very nice either way.

    Hey -- thanks for looking! Thor: and thank you for the suggestion. I took another crack at it and came up with something I think is improved and a little more striking. Gracias!

    That is definitely an improvement and the scene looks a lot better and is filled with more saturation. Good job on this.

    Overall a really nice image. The second go around has some nice pop. I would prefer to see this with more of a panoramic crop. Thinking about removing approximately half the sky, right before the clouds get heavier and lose some definition. This will make the barn more of a focal point also. Just a thought.
    I don't know where I'm going, but I'm going anyway.

    Luck happens when preparation meets opportunity!
