Hello dear friends,

I'm back for a short while!
August sounds the return of activities!
This photo was taken at the same day of my previous ones.
I have partially desaturated the sky to make it more dramatic. Also, I experimented the bloom effect with Photoscape on the grasses in foreground.

Thanks for your attention on my work and feel free to make any comments improving my photos!
Have a nice weekend!

hi Annie .. another beautiful shot with dramatic cloudy sky .. beautiful colors ..and nice effect its seems like oil painting .. i love it .. and welcome back :)
have a beautiful week end.. regards Harout.

Bonjour Annie ,
Beau travail de désaturation le ciel noir et gris donne un effet dramatique .Belle composition et contraste peut-etre aurait-t'elle eu plus d'effet encore sans l'avant plan des cette herbe juste la maison et le ciel? simple idée de ma part car il faut donner une critique sinon notre commentaire vaut rien selon certain membre :(
Bonne journée
Amitié
Gaston

Annie,
I like the mood this shot creates. The dark clouds with the light coming through looks great. I like the off centered house again with the light shining on the subject. I also like the low POV with tall grass in the FG. Nice shot Anne.
Regards,
Kevin

Ciao Annie



Your post are so fabulous they should
be "Hour Concurs", the wonderful beauty that is
your world! Want the extraordinary, I always do!
Happen? It happens a few times, so has the extra before,
and becomes the subject of dream and desire.
Nice visual, I love this place!
Congratulations,

Sergio

Hello annie,

un lieu magique du Québec que l'on a envie de croiser lors d'une randonnée sympathique , hélas le Québec est loin des contrées françaises , snif.

En tous les cas une bien jolie photo toute en contraste et en luminosité , le point de vue est intéressant et les nuages n'augurent rien de bon hé hé ...

Hi Annice,
I'm happy you're back and we are able to see your posts again! This is a perfect countryside sho with really special lightings and dramaticallylooking sky. The enlightment of the house is nice as well as its placement off the centre. Correct exposition of the dark clouds, fine scene. The only thing I would have left out is the small text at the bottom, but this is just a pesonal idea.
Good job, TFS!
Best wishes,
Kristof

Looks like a tornado is decending upon this little house! Marvelous work, as always Annie, you are the person to watch for excellent pp work. Your colors here are fabulous! The details are so good! Good job!

Hello Annie,
As always a superb idyllic composition. The featured house is well placed in the frame, the clouds beautifully drape the scene, I do like the sharpness f the flowering grasses on the f/g. You live in a beautiful place. My best regards...

This has rather a romantic feel to it. I love the sky and all of the colors. Nice composition. TFS

Hi Annie,
This one looks great. Good composition with the house, such varying depths and tones to the clouds too. The FG adds extra interest to this shot, your desaturation of the sky has worked well.

TFS,
Scott.

Hello Annie,
Atrtractive scene as usual.
Well composed and good using of rule of thirds. I loved texture of grasses and clouds

Hello Annie,
your post processing work has produced a wonder painterly image.The little house with its nicely coloured roof and the dark tre beside it are arty, like from an illustration of a children's book.I think that is what i like about this, it is artwork of the finest order.
best regards,
Bev

Hi Annie

A nice capture of the dark, ominous, & threatening storm clouds, at left. The fg scene in sunlight, looks idyllic. Good colour, lighting & sharpness. Bon weekend!

Bonjour Annie,
A very interesting treatment to this photo. You made it look like a movie poster for a horror movie. I like the drama in the sky created by the desaturation and the nicely position house. I think if you brighten the grasses just a little, it would give better contrast to the sky.
TFS,
Niek

Hi Annie,
Perfect placement of the trees and buildings. The colors are sumptuous and alive. a beauty of landscape.
Best regards.

Hi Annie,
Superb light and a special POV makes this an interesting image. Well Composed well use of DOF (despite the low f-stop of f/5.6) Sharpness in front and rear of the view. Well done Annie!

Annie
Ton PP donne évidemment beaucoup d'originalité à cette image avec, en particulier, ce ciel fantastique.
Amicalement
JJ

Bonjour Annie,

Je vois que la vie ne te laisse pas beaucoup de répit!!!
Joli POV sur cette maison qui se fond dans les hautes herbes, avec ce ciel menaçant donnant une étrange sensation de fin du monde, c'est superbement cadré!!!
Amitiés

bonsoir annie,
they said it already, but this image makes me think of the movie "Twister" - when the tornado is nearing and you can see in the distance that it's going to hit the houses...
I like the way the house facade seems to almost "glow".
just one question: I don't know Photoscape, so what is the bloom effect..?
thanks,
cris

Superb composition and colours, excellent framing. I like the cloud-covered sky.
Best wishes,
Achim

Hi Annie,

i think the partial desaturation on the sky is a nice touch to an already moody scene. The grass on the foreground is dark i agree but i minor thing.

You're killing my with these dreamy shots !

Good Morning Annie,

I have missed this one ... still, as a favourite, I will always catch up, eventually!
Your pp work has really given this a 'different' feeling. It resembles a painting more than a photograph although the fine qualities of composition and dramatic effect are easily appreciated.
The subtle colours are excellent.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

ciao Annie..

Boa noite Annie

dear Annie,
an picturesque view shot of the dramatic relation between the nature and the house in it.
shining figure of the house is very well contrasted with the fore grass and the back cloud, this effect is excellent.
and also two yellows of the wall of house and the sky beyond the cloud make touching ambience of the relation of those.
I can feel a cool wind in this comfortable summer air,
thank you,
Akihisa
