Taken on the same farm as lone tree from today http://365project.org/taffy/365/2014-08-15. This car clearly has seen better days, but what a beautiful place for it to be able to live out its days.
Oh dear !! --poor thing in such a sorry state gut your capture is splendid !! Love the rustiness of it all Beautiful lighting I love the purple hue in the rust echoed in the shadow in the grasses , the occasional bush and the warmer hues in the sky and the grass in general -- FAV !
@silver_fox I don't think it would have been purple in daylight, but as the sun was setting, this was the color that showed up. I upped the saturation a bit, but the color didn't change as much as intensify. In fact, I was trying to figure out how to reduce the purple as it looked fake to me!
@silver_fox I had combined three photos using photomatix, and am wondering if that cause the color to come through. But being there in person, the colors were really unusual in the setting sun, but they definitely to the eye did not look as purple as they do in the photo.
