Another view of the blueberry field two weeks later than this one. Most of the green and pinkish leaves are gone leaving red stems. The field is very different now.

It amazes me, Mary, how the overall view has a totally different feel than if you had gotten up very close. It's like a quilt on Mother Earth!
Mary MacADNski: The fields are fascinating to me. The plants are different in that their stems turn red, unlike most plants that have only leaves that turn colour. Nature is wonderful.
Oh I just clicked on that link and wow. I've never seen blueberry fields before.
Love that Beatles song.
Mary MacADNski: I have a friend with some and will investigate next year if she has a high point so that I can get a big panorama shot. They are very pretty in autumn.
Mary, you're one of my favourite bloggers on Shutterchance because of your originality of posting music with your pictures. It'a always a refreshing change. Your photos are always lovely too. I can't believe the colour in that field!
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Iain. That means a lot to me. The music is the most important aspect for me in all my blogs yet hardly anyone (other than Bill Phillips) ever comments on it. I really appreciate your comment.
Oh I hate it when I miss a great photograph. You must have posted the first one on a day when I did not have time to look. I`ve put that right now, and they are both fabulous. (:o)
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Rosalyn. That happens to me too but we can always go back.
Well seen Mary, a lovely, colourful splash .... but here's my 'Sh' comment.
You MUST crop this picture to get rid of the weak areas. Firstly, get rid of the sky completely. It's just a blank, boring blotch of white. Bring the top of the picture down to the pine trees. Second, get rid of the very bottom where the white patch of road or path is just a little distraction. Having done that try increasing the colour saturation a little to make the colours richer as at the moment the shot looks a little over-exposed. This adjustments will take just a minute or two in any photo-editing software and should really lift the shot.
Mary MacADNski: I don't use post processing except Picasa to straighten horizons and occasional cropping. I don't think it has colour saturation. This photo pointed back to another photo of the same field a few weeks earlier. It is cropped (in camera) just as you suggested. For the one you are commenting on, I took several shots and probably chosw the wrong one. Here is the previous shot a few weeks before. The colours of the leaves are paler and I was trying to show the differences with the same field with autumn changing the colour. http://www.justpictureit.shutterchance.com/photoblog/Blueberry_Field_in_Autumn_/
