Hi folks,
I've been engaged in other things for a few days. What was to be a 3-4
hour clinic visit for a test for my mother turned into a three day
oddesey plus some recovery. She is home now with the main problem
apparently fixed; still weak but seemingly getting stronger.
I managed to keep up with the list, but not reply to anything. If they
had WiFi in the hospital buildings, I would have had plenty of time to
stay active... :-)
Anyway, since my name was invoked in the start of this thread, it seems
a good place to ease back in.
I agree that either more or less detail in the foreground is better. Of
the two alternative versions offered, the lighter appeals to me more.
However, the color seems wrong to me. The foreground is being viewed in
the light from the sky, but the sky is all red-orange-yellow and the
foreground is grayish green. Certainly at least the bits of long grass
left along the fence line should have a tint from the sky. So here's my
contribution <http://moosemystic.net/Gallery/Others/GRemy1.htm>. It has
a little more contrast in the foreground, so the brightest parts are the
same luminosity, but the darks go darker. That way, the texture of the
plowed ground in front is clearer. A bit too red? I dunno, but I like
the way the grass and the tops of the furrows pick up the sky color.
