My best pic for a long time

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Hi guys. Please let me know what you think of this image.

It was taken this evening, using a polariser on the kit lens on a tripod.

[edit: I just noticed that this shot has the tree branches creeping in from the right hand side. I cloned this out, but must have undid it somehow before I saved it.]

A classical pastoral image! Simple, empty, dripping with gold light, and beautiful. Shows the power of the Polarising filter. Well constructed! Well done! Maybe something...a figure or a dog, in the foreground left of page might have taken the image to a slightly higher level?

owen...

i really like this shot... simple but extremely effective...

all it needs is a pig on the wing and it would be a nice sequel to a pink floyd album cover...

well done...

cheers

Wow, thats beautiful alright!! I need to get me one of these CP for my kit.
Only suggestion is to perhaps crop a little more off the bottom just up until the light hits the grass and a smidge off the right side where you can see the end branches of another tree (or you could clone these out.) But, thats just me being picky. :lol:
Well done, and well sorted location.
Cheers, Jase. :D

Thanks for the comments guys.

Unfortunately no dogs/cows/sheep were available at the time of shooting :(

I would like to go back later in the year when the sun has changed positions a bit, hopefully it will bathe the first tree in golden light.

Cheers,
Owen.
