Gracias HuubL. Saludos

This looks familiar... hmmmm. Oh yeah: www.weeklyshot.org/theme/balance/response/81/

:) Great minds.

This is so funny! We made the same photo! I'm sure I have seen yours at the time you send it to WS, but I had no memory of it, believe it or not. Maybe somewhere in the subconscious mind... Thanks for the reminder :o)

Yes, but you had far better lighting than I did. The clouds make all the difference in the world. Well done.

You are too kind :o)

Is this for real?
I'm amazed...incredible capture!

Thank you! Yes, the camera was held in my left hand and there were several attempts at this. My lunch break is only so long, and to get the desired effect I wanted, I did some slight blurring in photoshop as I was not able to achieve this 100% from just the camera. Is it chaeting a little? Perhaps, but I look at it as work in the darkroom to realize my original 'vision'.

Sorry Sharon, I cannot understand "chaeting" :(
But if you mean "disturbing", no, there is no problem at all with me. The result is just beautiful this way, so congratulations to you, and I really do not care if you had to use Photoshop to achieve it.
I've always regarded postprocessing as the final and personal touch that everyone can give to one's production, exactly like photographers did before in the darkroom.

Oh Martine, my apologies! That was a typo! What I meant to say was 'cheating'.

I agree 100%. The effect only becomes a problem when it's too heavy, or not justified. It works perfecly, here (and I like your other pictures, too...)

philippe, thanks so much! I do at times try to push things, but hopefully not too far :)
Cheers to you!

I agree about the saturation being a bit too high. Another suggestion would be capturing either 1/3rd of the sky or the grass setting the other element take 2/3rd. Excellent image nonetheless!

high contrast, high saturated !!! just the one that i like !!

Eye catching image for sure. I might have preferred a)less saturation on the colors and b)a non-square "landscape" view.

I would crop 10% off of the top. The 10% has interesting clouds, but I think it would look better without it. Did you get any longer exposures showing the wheat moving?

wow

Bonita fotografía. Felicidades.

I really like your perspective and vantage point. The softness of this photograph, so inviting.

Thank you very much to you all :)

wow. it looks like a painting. did you digitally produce this effect? amazing regardless...

Thank you Nathan :)
I have blurred a little the background.

Thank you so much Sharon, it's a great pleasure for me that you like it :)

For me is Génial...
Thanks

wow. just a wonderful image.
i love the glow in it.

Eric, Thomas, thank you very much !
And many thanks also to the voters :)

Surreal picture :) so out of the ordinary! Thanks for sharing!

I like what you did here, this is excellent only thing I would change is take the shot from a straighter angle i.e. perpendicular to the poster.

Nice capture, they sure are interested in you. Very good capture. I might have "punched" the tonal range a bit.

bravo ! très belle image bien en relation avec le thème !

Oh...this is really such an amazing capture! The artwork as a backdrop for these children works wonderfully. It's as though they have escaped a nightmare, and are completely unscathed. If I were to do it differently, I wouldn't change a thing :)

A great capture indeed - a pcure I can look at for a long time...
The children are perfectly placed in the frame and doing it in B&W was the right choice. The only minor thing I might have done differently is crop out the door on the left - but as I said: It's a minor thing. All in all it's a great picture.

Thank you all. Especially Juan and Jon for making it a Favorite.

great object !! the 2 people there is two shining stars for the picture

This is really awesome.

Honestly, I cannot see anything to be critical about in this image. I have nothing but praise! Having the people in this shot to scale is great...it's much like the world of Dali. Truly an incredible shot!

An almost surrealistic picture...
To present it in B&W and to do a square crop were the perfect choices for this. In short: A great picture :-)

Love the color combo...especially the retro turquiose blue!

Thanks so much hampshire!

Hi, thank you for the comment! It was SO HOT out there, watching this fire.
But dang, it was cool. :)

Powerful and frightening image...respect!

Very impressive !

Very impressive.
Having been through a few house fires, this really bring back the tragedy, the loss, the emotional turmoil that was, a house fire.

thank you for the comment.
Must be really tough to go through a real fire like this.
