City - Cariboo Country State - BC Country - Canada
About
Another on the drive from the Gang Ranch to Williams Lake, BC. I've fallen in love with these abandonded, falling apart shacks on the side of the road... they have so much characters, and I can imagine the stories these walls could tell. Cropped some from the bottom as per Becky V's suggestion, as the yellow is a little blown out and was dominating too much. This has gone through major PS work... not because the original was awful, but because I wanted to try something new. It's been colourized, slightly blurred, and partly made into a painting.
Unusual and effective look at a Canadian landscape. Satisfying subject placement, between the light-green rough tufts, and the vivid and spurious yellow. I might have been tempted to go all the way, and convert this to a watercolour. Or leave in it's 'raw' form.
I love the way this has become like an impressionist painting, Kim! The colors are quite beautiful here - I love the soft yellow with gray/green on the field of flowers, and the wonderful sage color on the hillside! For some reason, my eye keeps going to the darker hillside/valley at the upper-right - just as an alternative, maybe a crop to minimize that part? Waddaya think? :)
What an unusual view - I would very much like to see it first-hand (so your photo succeeds). The light green stuff over the yellow field is a little dominating and I'm thinking that a crop from the top might be interesting.
