Date Uploaded: Jun 28, 2008

 Went on a tour with a group visiting from Minnesota...we were taking them around the Shenandoah Valley...., I left my 40D and 17-85mm at home (my main camera and main landscape lens)....but luckily my wife had her camera (XTi) and a lens that I could make due (28-135mm). Came VERY close to submitting this for the Rural Landscape challenge....but wanted to do more editing on it than was allowed. This was shot through a window b/c I couldn't get it wide enough outside the window with the equipment I had.

post:
as for the comments about it being tilted...it is.....this is on a hill. I was standing on flat land and this is the natural lay of the land...as you can see, the mountain in the distance is NOT tilted.

This is a good shot, but I am left with a sense of wanting something more to focus on. Perhaps making that fence a more prominent part of the composition might do it for me.

Everything is to tilted to the right.

nice colors, but the picture is cut right in half at the horizon, making it pretty unoriginal.

Really a nice old-time feel to the shot.

I know it is probably the terrain, but it feels tilted to the right.

I like the HDR feel of the grass--it almost looks like a painting. My one criticism is that the tent on the left isn't fully in the frame

I like the comp....a bit harsh in the tones.

nice even light, perhaps lacks creativity on the compositional front
