EXPLORED!!! Highest position: 152 on Wednesday, December 2, 2009
I usually don't appreciate shallow DoF in landscapes, and try to get all in focus, especially when I'm shooting with my 10-22.
This time, thou, I really wanted to focus on the remainings of this corn field. Tones were really special, and
those colorful trees in the distance provided a special background.
I was lucky enough to get some nice clouds above, too, and the abundance of water granted great reflections.
I decided to process it in colors, desaturation would have diminished the impact for this image.
In my last shot I wrote I will be in Germany next friday, I actually meant from December 4th!
Wishing you all a splendid week!

@ You all
Comments, faves and critiques are always welcomed!
It has been a pretty 'unusual' processing: it took me just 2 minutes, far less than what I'm used to!
