Donna and I always enjoyed getting in the car on a Sunday morning and spending the day driving the back roads of NH and VT. It’s amazing the beauty we would find on such outings.
This is just a classic Vermont scene Sandy. I love it. I want to be there and just take it all in with a wonderful country drive. Thank you for putting me there in this one.
Hi Sandy,
This is a classic New England scene. I have only been to Vermont once, but this makes me want to go back. My only suggestion would be to dial the saturation (especially the blue) back just a little as it looks a little strong; at least for my tastes. I love that white fence and the way it takes me into this autumn landscape.
I’ve never been to Vermont before but this is where I’d want to go if I someday find my way there. I think this is very well composed and I love that you used the road to lead the viewer into the scene and take them to that beautiful home on the hill. You’ve captured wonderful fall colors as well.
I thought this may have a slight blue cast to it so I brought it into LR and made a few Hue and Temperature adjustments but my new monitor is leading me to believe that everything has a blue cast to it so let me know if this doesn’t work for you. I also added a bit of light globally and lifted the blacks and shadows in the trees just left of the house where the road splits off. What a lovely scene. Is this just off the side of the road on an afternoon drive?
Hi, Dave - congrats on being chosen as a new Landscape moderator!
Thank you for the very thoughtful critique; much appreciated.
I like your suggestions, and have added an Edit. I didn’t lift the shadows, though, as that felt a bit washed out.
This was just off a back road as we were driving around. The best images are often unplanned and unexpected! There were several beautiful farms we found.
