A Touch of Color Among the Ruins
Posted by john4jack (Corvallis, Oregon, United States) on 5 November 2009 in Landscape & Rural.
Any touch of color brightens up the landscape. The out-of-focus building is one of those in the shot from two days ago.

k@ from Paris, France
Oh Jack, I just Love this... Makes me feel the luck we have to be alive and able to share this very world : peaceful, beautiful, and the crooked roof does not succeed to talk to me of anything negative because those honey-like colors win it whole. Bravo for how you composed it, like a painting exploring all the richness of the yellowzz*

@k@: Merci, dear Karine. You are so kind.
@*MЯG*: Thank you.
Dulcie from Danville, CA, United States
Terrific...the rich and softly glowing colors of the image and the spark of golden yellow in the foreground make a beautiful image.

Alivia from Saint-Etienne, France
as a table in the light spots of color that move with the shadows on the foliage and the abandoned house, a treat Jack.
5 Nov 2009 9:25am
@Alivia: Merci, dear Dane.
@Bernardo: Gracias. I wish that you were on Am3.
Anina from Auckland, New Zealand
Magnificent! I love the autumn tones. I like the selective focus and detail a lot!
5 Nov 2009 9:45am
@Anina: Thank you.
@Nicholas: Thanks.
P J W Miller from Chase Terrace, United Kingdom
I like the way the building is slightly out of focus against the sharp foreground

@P J W Miller: Thanks.
@Mhélène: Merci.

MrsAmber from West Wickham, United Kingdom

@MrsAmber: Thanks, Kate.
@Vachel: Thank you.
zOOm from Paris, France
We may expect a Buffalo Bill coming out of your picture Jack ! Incredible ! Do you think I have too much imagination ? ;-)
5 Nov 2009 11:36am
@zOOm: It would be a great setting for a Wild West movie!

Beautiful vegetation in front of the old house. A great sense of depth.

wonderful warm colors, I like also the excellent work with dof.

@Luca Bobbiesi: Thank you.
@mo.langel: Merci.
don from spokane, United States
I like the bright autumn color of this bush among the sage brush. The out of focus house still have sufficient detail that it works very well in the image. Nice one.
5 Nov 2009 2:50pm
@don: Thanks, Don.
@Tracey: Thank you.
@Elena Kotrotsou: Thank you.
@Veronelle: Thank you.
Steve Rice from Olympia, United States
What a beautiful golden scene. That bright yellow is really nice.
5 Nov 2009 4:12pm
@Steve Rice: Thanks, Steve.
@Irene: Merci.
@LauraS: Thanks, Laura.
Macrobaby from Vancouver, Canada
Another beauty. I like the use of DoF here. The blurring of the barn and the old tree in the background gives this picture a story book quality if that makes any sense... :)
5 Nov 2009 4:34pm
@Macrobaby: Thank you.
@Lyl and Roll: Merci.
MJ from Delaware, United States
a nice capture of a bit of color... I love how the yellow brightens the picture...

Michael Rawluk from Williams Lake, BC, Canada
I love the composition and really like having the barn out of focus.
5 Nov 2009 5:16pm
@Michael Rawluk: Thanks, Michael.
Betsy Barron from Chester Springs, PA, United States
lovely bright golds - I like the selective focus on the foreground
5 Nov 2009 5:18pm
@Betsy Barron: Thanks, Betsy.
@Michael: Thanks, Michael.
Steven from Chicagoland, United States
It's amazing how something so small can have such a visual impact with its color on the surrounding landscape. The building has so much character up close....even if it may not be the most ideal character for others. :-)
5 Nov 2009 5:54pm
@Steven: Thanks, Steven.
@Véro: Merci.
@Yvonne Simons: Thank you.
Anthony Morgan Lambert from Bielefeld, Germany
Splendid composition,you are a master of the art !!

Great use of dof, the yellow certainly lifts the whole picture.
5 Nov 2009 6:26pm
@Curly: Thanks.
@jamesy: Thanks.
Judy from Brooksville, Florida, United States
Looks like fall on the prairie to me ... a wonderful shot, Jack.
5 Nov 2009 6:52pm

Very beautiful succession of shots with a great use of DOF. Like the colors also.
5 Nov 2009 6:53pm
@Evelyne Dubos: Merci, Evelyne.
@laur: Merci
Susan from Fort Lauderdale, FL, United States
Lovely shot Jack..... and I like the softer focus on the building in the background....works well in this one!!
5 Nov 2009 8:41pm
@Susan: Thanks. Sometimes what you are stuck with works!
Michael from Shell village, United Kingdom
An accomplished piece of processing that works very well.
5 Nov 2009 9:42pm
@Michael: Thanks, Michael.
@Marieastro: Merci. Still wish that you would join Am3.
Stephane Themeze from Maryland, United States
Love the DoF and the composition itself. It gives good dialogue between the tones and colors. The light is sweet everywhere and is reinforced by your selective focus. Good processing and feeling!
5 Nov 2009 10:19pm
@Stephane Themeze: Merci. The selective focus was more of a gift than intentional. But it definitely is what was wanted.
@Bill: Thanks, Bill.
marc battault from clermont ferrand, France

daniela scharnowski from Berlin, Germany
I`m amazed how much details are included here - without making my eyea restless!
The saturation of the scene is so rich and warm, story telling ;)
6 Nov 2009 8:43am
@daniela scharnowski: I'll bet that old building could tell some doozies.

@Olivier V.: Thank you.
Barbara from Florida, United States
Outstanding image, Jack.
Very impressive and winning image. There is a beautiful balance of color with the golden light on the building and the yellow bush.
The out of focus background really gives a 3D quality with the shrubs in the foreground.
Quite a remarkable photograph. 5 stars!
8 Nov 2009 2:37pm
@Barbara: Thanks, Barb.
Francesc B. from région parisienne, France
