Taken with a Nikon SLR (good ol' film camera!) (5 years and 2980 days ago)
Try this: Duplicate the background layer. Apply a gaussion blur at about a radius of 6. Set the layer to "soft layer". Merge (flatten) the layers and then possibly bring the saturation up a bit. These are all legal adjustments because they work on the photo as a whole. It makes it pop without changing the original photo too much.
Too dark, with too much dead space at the bottom.
This would be far more visually impressive if you cropped it so that the farmhouse occupied the majority of the picture plane, since the field is so dark, the right hand side so foggy, and the sky somewhat colorless.
I would just crop some of the field, I really like the fog and the blue sky above it.
I cropped it bit. I agree the dark was weighing it down a bit too much. hopefully this is better
yes, that helps
Howdie stranger!
