But still the glorious pastel scribble of a panorama, Mary.

Mary MacADNski: It is quite a difference though, from just a couple of weeks.

WOW!Your answer to Monet's poppy field!

Mary MacADNski: I think you have something there.

Sheer delight Mary

Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Tracy.

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.

Very nice Mary. I like the variety of colours shades.

Mary MacADNski: The shade variety is what makes it interesting.

Stunning picture Mary, love the colours in this one very much!

Mary MacADNski: The colours really are fabulous.

Natures beautiful splahes of colour nicely captured Mary

Mary MacADNski: These blueberry fields fascinate me and now that they're covered in snow, I'll wait till next year.

What a beautiful pasture. Do the cows still provide white milk?

Great picture

Mary MacADNski: This is a commercial blueberry field. They get crows landing in it but never cows.

thats incredible. Is that heather in the fields?

Mary MacADNski: Those are the stems of blueberry plants. They'll be green again in spring.

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.

Lovely carpet of colour Mary.

Mary MacADNski: It is lovely. For the last week it has been covered in white.

These colours are amazing... The hazy background conveys a special mood. I love this one!

Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Carla. The colours are amazing. The field is now covered in a white blanket.

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.

Wonderful colour and composition Mary. Don't need to play the song I can hear it in my head, one of my favourite Beatles songs.

Mary MacADNski: It's one of my favorite songs too. I use it quite often because it fits so many situations.

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.

I would never want to walk away from the view.
If only the sky had been kinder for you that day

Mary MacADNski: The sun has hardly shown this autumn. Now we have early snow so that view is definitely gone till next fall. It is really beautiful.

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.
