Prairie road and field

[tbob]

I did not notice at the time of shooting but I have a decidedly pink aspect to the couple of spots where the rising sun lit the field and road. I was waiting for the sun to light the granaries, far off on the eastern horizon there was a small knoll blocking the sun and I had to wait for upper limb of the sun to clear it to light the granaries. The rest of the field and road are in shadow, just the few little spots are lit.

I tried to mask it out, not really successful as the mask was too obvious.

Just wondering if the pink spots bother anyone or if I am just being obsessive.

Weirdly at 100% the effect seems to vanish and and the spot on the field is a more tawny red brown (as I would expect) , not pink

I probably wouldn't have noticed it if you hadn't pointed it out, I think it blends in well with the sky tones.. Nicely captured.

Thanks John

After posting this and walking away from the computer I remembered I could create a mask based on colour selection. Did that and desaturated, darkened the areas. Now I am happier with the image.

One of those things that once it bothers you it becomes an overwhelming flaw

Nice photo...just curious, was the camera at eye level or closer to the ground?

If memory serves; it was about waist level. I find that about optimal for this sort of thing. Too low and the foreground gravel is inordinately large, too high and the road does not rise up the way I like.

Maybe just a tad obsessive.

This one must be viewed large to appreciate. I love those early morning pastel colors.

Blue sky, flat horizon, and straight roads. Things I haven't seen in awhile and a pleasure to look at.
Someone else is going to tell you to get rid of the telephone pole.

Became like a shard of corn between the teeth.

I usually clone these things out, or even go so far as to pick roads with no poles to shoot. However this time I purposely left it in. For some aesthetic reason I do not fully understand it just seemed right to have it there. Even left the wires in place.
