Dreaming

[JimFox]

I was out with the grandkids at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wilderness area to get some photos of Bison and other animals, but I came across this scene that I really liked. To me it has a bit of a dreamscape feel to it.

Almost a minimalist feel to it. Very peaceful looking scene.

That floating cloud is what makes this image for me. The processing adds to the dreamy feel.

Thanks Jameel! Yeah, when I saw that cloud, I had to capture it.

As for the processing, this is essentially straight out of the camera. One of those rare magical scenes where it all comes together for you.

Jim, this is nice simple phot, perfect for wall print.

Thanks Oliver. That's a great idea.

I hesitate to say it but here goes: crop the near bank off and this adds to the minimalism and shifts your eye upwards to that beautiful cloud. I see what you mean about bright de-saturated blues. Ken

Thanks Ken, I appreciate the suggestion, and no need to hesitate. I had actually thought that the darker area there was grabbing the eye a bit. I had thought about using a layer mask and seeing if I can cleanly recover the shadows there to even out the bottom area in terms of brightness.

I have a few more dead trees with pale blue skies from that trip I need to process. I am not sure why those conditions appealed to me, especially the "dead" brown of the tree's as normally dead looking bare trees like that are a turn off. But for some reason the tan of the ground seemed really appealing combined with the pale blue sky.
