More Grapes
Here's another shot of the grape harvest from central Arkansas...this time hand-picked by 75-80 people working 5 hours. I got lucky with the clouds, but had to clone 10-15 junk cars from the area around the trees to the right of the hay barn. Hey, it's Arkansas... :rolleyes:

Nice cloud texture and edging of the plants.
Clone job is good; I don't see that 1939 Ford...

Ah, the clouds seem to point the way right to this lovely sunset. As you know, this is my kind of scene.

Thanks guys. I just noticed the smartphone version has a greenish cast, so I checked the file and it seems I forgot to convert to sRGB. This version should look better.

Nice, Bill, the clouds make the scene.

Thanks Tom and Wayne. FYI, this was taken just after sunRISE, Wayne. Was up at 3:00 am and drove to Altus, then went to Jonesboro for a few shots, then finished up at the Falcon Jet completion center in LR. Drove over 700 miles that day. Wait a minute, I could be in Colorado right now!!! :biggrin:
