A HDR shot of yesterday. Weather here is weird. It should be so hot you can't stand to go out. Here, we go from air-conditioned rooms, to AC cars, to AC work, to AC stop-N-Go stores. But I swam yesterday and went out into the sun to soak up some rays and got COLD. HAHA!
Had a great weekend with friends and loved ones. Hope you also had a great one!
Linda

Hi Linda

I'm back in Seoul! I like the reflected blue skylight in the river which also adds lead in lines & linear perspective. Good color, sharpness & contrast. Tfs!

Same thing here Linda .. very strange weather. We've had a colder spring than I ever remember having. We had frost several nights last week!!!! Crazy.
Great shot again. Fantastic colors throughout. Love the graduation of colors in the sky, and the big fluffy cloud. You sure have odd colored soil down there:)
Great job. Have a good week.
Trudy

Very nice HDR shot, what program are you using? I've been unable to get clouds looking as natural as you're done here...

Hello Linda,

An excellent HDR shot !!!

I like colors and contrast between sky and little river.

Obviously vehicles cross this watercourse regularly...

Super details. Lovely summer feeling to this picture and a well composed presentation.
Best wishes,
Achim

Hi LInda,
Here June is in sawtooth! A succession of hot and cold days!
I like this HDR photo! It work well with this landscape giving its warm colors. Superb gradient of blue in the sky and,
excellent vertical choice, this adds energy at the atmosphere.
I will be absent until 17th June!
Best regards and take care! Annie

Hi Linda,

Like your framing giving that lovely sky prominence,nice curve on the river, we have the usual Scottish weather just now, lovely and warm for a few days then freezing, our normal Summer.

We've been having our worst year ever!! Yesterday we went to a rodeo and wore our winter coats and wrapped in quilts! So your picture looks like the perfect day to me. Lovely blue sky and I like the lighting and how it brings out such lovely tones. TFS

Your HDRs are so natural, Linda! I love this composition with deep BLUE sky and eyecatching perspecitve. Great work!
Greetings from Poland, Ewa

"blue skies smilin' at me, nothin' but blue skies do I see....". Even the clouds look happy Linda! Nice scene with the golden/green tones of the plants against the blue sky. I like how the water curves into the scene towards the clouds and magnificent sky.

Nice job as always on the HDR! :) Lisa

Linda the blue sky certainly stands out and is first thing I noticed. the ground tones in the lower half add to the eye catching shot.

excellent color and detail.

Hi, Linda -
Nicely composed - I love the way the stream leads the eye into the distance and that amazing cloud against the deep blue is so eye-catching. Warm, bright colors and sharp details. You consistently produce high-quality images, which is why I am a big fan. Keep 'em coming ...

Ciao Linda, splendid landscape with fantastic sky, wonderful light and colors, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hi Linda,
Beautiful blue sky,nice composicao.

Brilliant shot Linder. It's a lovely view from this bend - but that blue sky and bright colours certainly shine even brighter with HDR.
Looks like the farmland needs some plowing!!! Want a hand?
