Sounds like a fairly forward thinking area. Must be nice.

I love the way you have got so much of your city into one photo, almost like a montage, well done. Which city is it?

Gotta love NYC!!!

great shot

beautiful colors. well done

beautiful place! GL

Congrats for your first place, Swanze!

Thanks Lelaina!

As an answer to friskiwi -
This is a view of the tram that takes you from Roosevelt Island to E 57th street (not sure it is 57th ou 58th!rs) and 2nd avenue, in Manhattan!
Did I get that right, author?

Yes Lelaina 60th street and 2nd Avenue! My family lives on Roosevelt Island and we love it there! I actually did answer friskiwi but privately because, being new to Pxleyes, I was just unsure about the anonymity rules. I wasn't being shy

Woops... my last comment was meant for mperii

Awesome capture and info = )

That is very beautiful though

Beautiful!

beautiful, my husband would like to live there.

Very pretty shot

Absolutely beautiful shot.

excellent shot, the fog makes a great effect

Congrats for your second place, Remsphoto!

Thanks for the votes. Now if I could only 2 putt.

Excellent image, I love the color contrast and the dark sky where you expect to find a blue one.

I took this on a really really nasty day, I think thats what I like most about the picture, we had thunderstorms rolling in and out all day long, this was taken at about 3:00PM, everytime it stopped raining I would run through the fields before it started again lol. Fun day. There is not alot around here to photograph unless you really really enjoy fields and overgrown forest lol...Its a struggle to get great shots.

beautiful!

Thanks you two

WOW! Love this!

I really like it, great angle too

Are these really young plants, or something? They don't look much like the tobacco I've seen. It had big, broad leaves. The shot itself is very nice, though

Kyricom, before the tobacco is planted they grow tall grass and then plow it into the soil just for the added nutrients. Should be anytime now when they will be plowing and planting the actual tobacco. Can't wait to get some shots of each process.

Hrm. Very interesting. I had no idea they did that. Thanks for the info.

They actually just plowed the grass into the field today, I will grab a pick tomorrow as long as its not still raining.

great light and angle

excellent

I understand what you mean "there is not a lot to photograph", I live in that kind of area also, but the bonus to that is, that you are challenged to really think outside the box.

amazing shot! GL

Congrats for your third place!

I'm sorry but I do not see a river

Sorry, the river is just barely visible in the bottom right corner. I guess I should have titled this "Down by the Willow" XD

Though I see no river, I am in love with the whole feeling of the shot!

great photo

I love that sky.

yes it is a great shot still.

excellent shot !

beautiful, and a great country too.

just curious.....the colors in the reflection on the water are way more vibrant than the actual sky and trees--how can that be?

When I got home with this, yes I played with contrast, and vibrance but nothing that has not affected the entire image, even on the original version the sky is much lighter than the water and reflection. So I can only presume the reflected half is affected by the colour of the water it is reflected in.

oh yes that could be... "the reflected half is affected by the colour of the water it is reflected in"

Ok... I am seriously thinking of moving! Some amazing places to live in!

don't worry as soon as we get a contest to show the bad stuff, you will change your mind

Looks like a lovely area

I love those reflections, is that really your backyard ? Great shot

beautiful
