Rolling Countryside

A shot taken several years ago, a lovely spot in my home state of PA. This is in the northeastern corner of the commonwealth. Had my trusty Sony in my car, and took the image with that. ISO I believe was 400, 1/250th, f-4.0... it's been reworked, so these numbers are probably skewed from original which I have not located yet. larger posted, thank you for looking.

Looks like a beautiful day in "farm country". Strikes me as a near classic postcard shot, with it's gentle beauty. The textures and shape in the foreground field look great, there's good interest in the mid-ground and a lovely sky. There's one area of cloud (low and towards the right) that looks blown, well worth some burning in or doing a low opacity clone to add a hint of texture.

Thanks guys!!! OK, I see the cloud you mention Mark! This is one I've never even printed out--and people around here love these types of "postcard" photos. I was just driving by one day several years ago, and had my wonderful Sony P&S and took this. Had my eye on it for awhile. I still need to revisit and capture in different moods--with a different camera.

Much appreciated. :)
