In the distance

It was late afternoon and I still didn't have any pictures so I had my husband pull over on the shoulder a couple of times. Shot plenty of old trucks, barns and weeds and about froze to death in the process. This is literally taken crouching in the ditch with weeds right in front of me shooting a farm way off in the distance.

I LOVE this! Beautiful shot!

[Denise]

Lovely shot with an interesting faded background.

[Barb Smith]

Paula, it's awesome. A patient and understanding husband. And you captured it perfectly!

[Holly Grace]

So very nice.

[Jen Pearson]

Love this--esp the faded out but still very distinct farm in the background.

[Beth]

Worth the freeze, for me anyway. Beautiful

[Kalexa]

Love how the foreground colours are similar to the background. Good frame choice to tie it all together.

[Rick Schies]

Nice framing and great colors.

[Kathryn Marshall]

Wow! I like both photos and cannot tell which one I like the best. I like the reddish color in the foreground and background. Traditional farm colors.

[Robin]

Like this one, too. The other is marginally my favourite.

[Terry D]

so pretty!

[Jennifer B.]

Love the DOF here. Lovely shot.

[stephanie dp]

very pretty. i love the dof.

[Staci Monreal]

Great colors! You create beautiful work from the side of the road. :)

[wendy chapman]

Very nice eye on this one. I like the weeds and snow with the blurred background image. A complex shot.

[Masha Lagonell]

Excellent. If I gave a smell to this pic, it would definitely be vanilla.

[Geertje K.]

Love the focus on the weeds! This shot really works!

I swore the last time I was in the ditch shooting weeds that I wouldn't resort to that last ditch effort for a picture again and yet, here I am posting more weeds!! :)

[ShadowDancer]

Beautiful! I love how the background is fading, very well done! Saw your other version, too, but can't decide which one I like better. Love them both!

[Pamela Mandeville]

Beautiful! I love the colors and the framing really adds a nice touch. Fav

[Heather (pixelchix)]

We do nutty things for our pictures don't we?! This came out lovely! Even though I know it's cold, it has an inviting warmth to it!

[Alecio]

I like the details very nice!

[Lynn M. Watson]

Wonderfu dof!

[Dawn B]

This is lovely, it has a great 'feel' to it :)

[Graham Harcombe]

Superb. You're spoiling us. :-)

[Jeff G.]

your effort (and your husband's patience) paid off. This is frameable. Perfect to have the farm blurred in the background.

[Jill (Emeraldboots)]

This is wonderful and I agree with Jeff!
