That's a great picture!
I love how bright it is, and the color of the sky.

Also, the poem you included fits nicely, and it well-written.

I like the repetition.

Nice work! ^_^

A photo is definitely personal in how it's perceived. And it's weird that yours basically expressed what my own hopes for the future are. It's everything serene, beautiful, and heavenly.

I'm definitely not trying to be poetic, nor am I the type. But I loved this photo that much!

thanks for your comment John.

I do not see my self as a poet, though a number of people argue with me on that subject. I figure every one has at least one poem in them....mine is done.

I am pleased you liked the image. for me, it is a special place.

Hey. Wayne, was this taken in Winnipeg by any chance?

Hi jasmine,

thanks for your visit and comments,

This shot was taken about 150 kms south west of Winnipeg.

I have a question. I just got a program called Photo Explosion and I really need practice with it but I have edited all the photos I possibly could of mine. Would you mind if I edited this just for practice? I would put full photo credit of you and Editing credit of me. It would help alot, this is a great picture.

These old shacks always evoke stuff wonderful images of adventure and exploration. They are endlessly fascinating to me and always have such a lot of character. It's great to see them and think of the history surrounding them. Great stuff.

WayneBenedet In reply to childoftwilight [2008-03-18 19:02:02 +0000 UTC]

thank you Vancea,

many people would have thought the same. I hav ebeen working on a process for the last number of months that gives detail similar to HDR but without the weird colour and visual effects. I just posted a print to my other gallery [link] that I will be using as part of my journal entry over the next few weeks trying to explain the process. (I use a separate gallery for this kind of stuff, because I don't want to attract s or comments to the specific work).

That is a house with some serious history and stories to tell. I love the colors of the rustic, weather worn logs contrasted with the bright colors of the foliage. I'm also a big fan of how the wood on the roof picks up the orange hue from the bushes in the background. Can't say anything for this technically (might have told you already that I'm useless with a camera) but the artistry in the lighting and colors is brilliant!

WayneBenedet In reply to EuroFoxx [2008-03-17 05:27:28 +0000 UTC]

thanks,

this was one of those images that took a great deal of time and thought to process. The colours and detail were there in the RAW image, but getting them to come out without destroying detail was a challenge.

Thanks a lot for taking time to appreciate it.

Yes I live in a small town. There are good things and then other things that are harder because of it. I used to live in a city, but I prefer this.

It must have been a very difficult existence when this was built.

WayneBenedet In reply to bamako [2008-03-07 01:47:35 +0000 UTC]

I think life was pretty raw back in the late 1800's, people lived far closer to the edge of existence than we do now.
