Featured Palouse Prairie

Nice series. I like the way the road leads you into the shot on the first one, and I think it has the best looking sky between the three.

 

Really like the first pic. The impressions in the grass lead your eye right into the pic. Very nice effect.

 

It's not just the leading lines in the first photo; it's also the detail revealed in the dark tones, the millions of transitions from dark to light tones and vice versa, the light that "pulls" the leading lines toward it, etc., etc. I could stare at this photo for a long time, constantly finding something new in it that prevents me from becoming bored.

By the way, it would also work well as an 8 x 10 format.

 

You've captured and created an ominous mood in these, Nick. #1 & #2 stand out for me - well done.

 

Beautifully captured and processed, Nick!
Wonderful scenery and light!

Luckily you re-discovered these.

 

Like number 2 also but on number 3 in Lightroom might have used the graident filter (not sure if right term) to lighten up the bottom half a bit.
Very nice

 

I have always preferred DxO FilmPack over the integrated version but there I was missing the u-point tool from Silver Efex.
Your remark made me realize I should look into the use of the integrated FilmPack functions again now that PL also offers the u-point tool.
Great tip, Nick!

 

The foreground on #3 looks very very dark on my screen but #1 is a definite winner.

 

The thanks are due to you actually. It prompted me to re calibrate my monitor just to make sure!

 

Quality work here, Nick.

 

Very nice as all have said. That 17-55 is a great lens, wish I had kept mine . Same with the 18-105   .
(Although both were DX.)
