Apple Ridge Farm by olivetreeann

Apple Ridge Farm

Did some low-color processing on this shot, painting back in the vibrancy on the farm worker and chickens. I'm not sure why I find this so appealing but I do!
It's a peaceful rural scene. It makes one want to be there and be enjoying the sights and sounds of nature.

I like this -- has a 'reality' look to it.

I like it very much too. Nicely composed and processed.

Terrific shot! I like the perspective that the farm worker gives the shot. Makes the building look huge. But I mostly love the b&w-ish quality, the textures and contrasts. Nicely done!

@ninaganci Thank you Nina!
@allie912 Thank you Allison! I think this processing really captures the "feel" of the place.
@bkbinthecity Thanks Brian!
@taffy Thank you Taffy!
@skstein Thank you Sandy!
@wordsmith Thank you Teresa!

Thank you everyone for your comments on the processing. I wanted to catch a certain feel with it that I felt from the farm- sort of a nostalgic look back essence and something new and fresh in their organic approach. I also took this as I was heading back to my car. A storm was rolling in and I didn't want to stay there too much longer. This fellow was heading back to the field to tie up the last of the garlic bunches. I liked the movement between him and the chickens.

I love the country life, so I find it very appealing to see a barn, chickens, wire fence and a man working!! Great shot!

@cashew Thanks Kathy! I have really enjoyed this "assignment". Getting to know these farmers and watching how they operate their farms has been a great learning experience. I can't wait to see our display at the Garlic Festival.
