It feels like it has been forever since I posted a picture on TL. A busy home and work life does not allow as much time for TL as I would like. I hope life will soon slow down a little, until then I will just enjoy the ride. Anyway this is a picture of a county road near my home. The fence borders a horse farm that I often take my daughter to. It is a peaceful place and we enjoy our visits here.

This is a mild HDR of 3 exposures in Photomatix. I shot this with an 18-55mm with a 22mm focal length. I adjusted saturation and levels slightly to get more color. I then reduced noise in Neat Image and resized. I hope you like the shot and thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!!!

Regards,
Kevin

Nice one Kevin!
I like linear composition and this grass... without trash allover.

Hi Kevin,
That's really sharp and bright! Beautiful countryside spring scene, nice way of composition by including the fence. I can hear the silence... Perfect clarity, moody photo! TFS.
Greetings,

HI Kevin
We have missed your photos. How are your cute girls?
This is the kind of road I like to see always in the hope of catching a horse playing around.
You did a very nice job with the hdr, shows good results.
Dot

Really nice work Kevin! I like the fence as a lead in line here! I'll be up around Ohio way in September. Dave has relatives there. We won't go too far in, as they are only 30 miles over the border from Pennsylvania! A beautiful state and you captured it well!

hi Kevin

Good to see your post again after a short absence.

This is very lovely landscape shot of the wonderful countryside scenery. Superb blue sky in CPL effect to bring such colorful contrast to the spring view.

Great work.

tfs, bill

Hello Kevin,

A fine pov where the fence and the road converge leading the eyes swiftly towards the horizon.
The light is excellent making a fine exhibition of light and shadows along the fence.
Well saturated colours and fine details make this shot very pleasing.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Kevin...

Beautiful capture of beautiful country scene...
Very lovely landscape and the wonderful countryside view.
Nice composition, great colors, light and details.
Well done,
George

Nice composition, good rich colour...

Nice HDR - although I think the noise reduction is a tad overdone - you can see the loss of sharpness and pixellation around the trees and branches..
