Keep Gate Closed

Nothing much here but late spring wind.

[Graeme Stevens]

Love it, suitably dark :)

@graemestevens You are very kind, truly appreciate the fav. The weather in my favorite spot was bitter cold and we even had snow and sleet last night. At least the clouds were behaving themselves.

Super on black with the white frame. VML the leading lines; the textured processing adds real feel chill.

[Domenico Dodaro]

Wonderful edit of an excellent shot. Fav!

[David]

Nothing much?? It's lovely... the fence posts, the lead-in track, the clouds... but above all the keep closed sign on the fence. Fav

[Catherine]

Very dramatic image. Love those track lines leading the eye into the photo.

[Stephanie]

The editing is great, it gives the scene a kind of eerie/suspenseful feel to it.. like something sinister is about to happen.

[Zita]

This is an awesome shot, Love it.

[Stef Neyhart]

You really capture the feeling of the cold and bleak. Congrats on your 365... it appears that we may have started around the same time. I missed some though. Agree about the learning curve... and in such a fun way.

[Brett]

Really looks fantastic in B&W - favorite for sure!

[Jerome]

wonderful drama

[saran]

It's beautiful

@s4sayer Thank you so much for the fav, This is a wide open meadow and there aren't many wind blocks. I am just getting fussy in my old age. I think I will add heated hunting socks to my camera kit. :)

@domenicododaro Thank you a great deal for the fav. This started out as infrared but morphed into and was saved by Photoshop. The sun wasn't all that prominent and is really helpful with IR.

@yrhenwr You are very kind, I am very appreciative of the fav. This road leads to a old abandoned house. This started out as an infrared and the house is much more visible but the rest of the image wasn't cooperating and I fell into NIK-land in Photoshop. I should have known because the sun (a rather crucial part of IR) was playing hide and seek with the clouds but live, shoot and learn.

@megpicatilly Thank you so much, I wanted to open the gate in spite of the sign but didn't have the strength to move it.

[Walks @ 7]

@stephanies I hadn't seen that but you are so right., thank you a lot. I do like the NIK collection. There are so many cool things to play with.

[Walks @ 7]

@zita_2016 You are so very kind, thank you.

[Walks @ 7]

@stefneyhart Thank you, this meadow (Kendrick Peak Park) is very large and open so the wind can be a real problem. It is one of my favorite photo haunts in this area. Some days learning curves are okay and some not so much.

[Walks @ 7]

@stefneyhart PS, thank you very kindly for the fav.

[Walks @ 7]

@brett101 I thank you so very much for the fav. After the battle that I fought with this one, it started out as an IR but was being a real pill about processing so I went B&W and then into NIK-land for help.

[Walks @ 7]

@jerome You are so very kind, I am very grateful for the fav.

[Walks @ 7]

@saran I am most appreciative of the fav, thank you kindly.

@joysabin you are always welcome 😀😀

@joysabin
Joking apart...if you can find some, invest in a pair of socks made from goat hair and spun with wool. I bought 2 pairs aeons ago: for cold weather they are my go to socks. Your feet will be toasty;-)
