I still think it would be interesting to see this with the larger area of trees removed entirely. Sometimes with an area so well photographed from the same or similar vantage point, it is refreshing to see a different take on the scene. |

Thank you for the welcome Connie. as well as your suggestions and edited image. I might even lighten the blue a tad just to not compete with the lavender field. I have never used sky replacements so that will be a fun thing to play with. I did share this image as well as others with the lavender farm. :) |

I agree that he original sky was distracting, and I like your suggestions. I also really liked Connie's rendition of the sky....I tend to favor overcast shooting outside for this very reason...although I do love good clouds with contrast. Thank you! |

Thank you Nancy. I am looking forward to this! I agree with you 100% about creating different photos by including or excluding the people in the background. For purposes of this assigned topic, I think I prefer including them for the more documentary effect. However, i really like the image as edited by Carole. |

I agree - this is what it is all about. We have informal member image reviews in my camera club, and it is always interesting to hear how others interpret/react to an image. |

Great leading lines into and through the image. I would agree with Srijan's suggested crop. I must admit to a bias towards tighter cropping (smile). I also like the complementary colors of the gardeners' clothing. |

I love this Nancy, and love the choice of black and white for the image. I am wondering if you could do some adjustments with highlights and shadows to tone down the shirts and maybe bring out the calf a bit more. I especially like the boy kneeling and watching while holding the second calf. |

Connie I love the story behind the image. Thank you for sharing that. I like your focus on an element of what could be a larger image of the cornfield itself as well as the color and clarity of the corn. |

As with Carole's sunflower image, I really like the perspective and depth in this image. I also like the layers through the image. The one distraction for me is the tree that tree behind the front laborer appears to come out of her back. I know that it is not always possible, but did you have room to move and take the photo from a slightly different angle to separate the tree from her? The only other suggestion would be to remove the one laborer in purple to her left. |

I also like the interplay of the shadows. I might crop the top down closer to the leaves and increase the contrast. I played in Lightroom doing both and came up with this. |

Carole I love the perspective of and depth to this image. The trees in the top left hand corner do pull me away from the sunflower and my eye goes to the left as opposed to moving backward through the sunflower field. Great colors! |

Thank you for the welcome, and thank you Carole, Melissa, and Srijan for your feedback and edited images.
Carole - I really like the image as you edited it as a final image in its own right. For the assigned subject I do favor the young woman looking at what she is doing and having additional people in the image. For me, that seems to be more in line with the agriculture theme. That said, I think removing the people in her row would improve it for the purpose of this assigned subject. Not being a Photoshop user, I do pull images into Elements which has a very good removal tool.
Melissa - I actually agree with toning down the saturation in the sky as it does compete with the lavender.
Srijan - As noted in my comment to Carole - I really like the image with the other people removed. I agree that the image becomes very busy with the other people and especially those in the same row as the young woman. Unfortunately, the area to the right of my crop would have detracted from the image. I do like your crop, eliminating the silos peeking out from the left edge above the building. While I like my colors to pop, I think I agree with Melissa that (for my taste) the sky detracts from the lavender field if it is too saturated. |
