Singled Out by harvey

Singled Out

I'm slowely getting back to biking after my accident two weeks ago. Today was a great shorter ride with my wife over to the Netherlands for 16 miles. I have been loving all the ready to harvest wheat fields in our area lately, so I specially wore my camelpack tonight and packed my SLR into it on the ride tonight. This was pretty much the shot I had in my head before the ride, I had my wife wade out into the field with me. We both had very scratchy legs later on, suprisingly a field of wheat is not as much fun to run through as one would think.

This field was perfectly positioned near a town with a nice big church high on a hill right behind it, and I got some great shots of the landscape there tonight in general, but this really fits with the hands competition this week, and I really like how the focus plane is on one of seemingly infinate rows of wheat, and she has singled out one single stalk.
Beautiful! I love the colors, the focus, the composition... just overall a wonderful shot! Glad to hear you're getting back on the bike and starting to ride again!

Great shot Steve. It reminds me of the scene from Gladiator where he runs his hand through the wheat.

What wonderful colors. I like the composition of the hand in this photo.

The colors are wonderful...and I love that focus...tilt shift? Sounds like you had a good ride...it's so hard to choose one photo when you are happy with so many others...

Came on over after your 'follow' :-) Looking at some of your photos I'm thinking this is a bit different for you. very much my taste....love the subject and colouring and the hand gives it a romantic feel. Thanks for your interest :-)

no tilt shift, just 4.5 aperature. I played around with the yellow levels a bit with photoshop RAW and then added a little more constrast with curves.

Love the detail and the way you incorporated your wife's hand to illustrate the theme. You have some wonderful photographs, and I appreciate the information you include explaining how you got your picture.
