So far this is my favorite. I love the texture in the sky.

A truly impressive transformation - it has me wondering what an 18th century artist would think of what came out of your D700 as raw . .

excellent work 5***

Brilliant work, Jack, I could see people really wanting to buy superb photographs
like this, there is so much atmosphere and mood, so thick, like the fog in the
distance. 5*****'s !~

Beautiful processing of texture

brilliant is the word!!! and this one is a picture of brilliance!

So beautiful!!!!

Looks like painted on a wall !

Excellent. I give 5 stars. Have a nice day Jack

Nice tetured shot. Classic example of the rule of thirds !!!

Love the treatment here.

Hervorragende Arbeit.

Excellent work! I'm also a big fan of the LR4 beta. Could be a really good version. Would love to hear more about your workflow in developing this! Great photo!

Strong composition but it's your processing that makes the stunning image. LR4 looks truly impressive.

Fantastique lumière et ocmpo quelle douceur quelc aptage, grandisoe compo
Bravo et amitié

Great image! I love this treatment! Very beautiful composition!

oh, this is a wonderful pastoral scene .. with little sheeps scattered all around it has such a warm and lovely feel . Love this image .

Another wonderful pastoral scene and the texture adds so much to the feel of the scene. 5*'s for me.

Perfectly executed image, Jack. The detail and texture are a perfect compliment.

The processing is amazing, but the stong composition underlying it is what really makes this shot.

It reminds me of Dutch paintings. Wonderful texture like linen! Best regards, y muchos besos amigo Jack! Una obra de arte! Adela

A tremendous tremendous photograph John. One of my recent favorites! Just fantastic tones, composition and mood. Exquisite stuff. Cheers!

Thanks for your interesting and detailed answer. I haven't used Color Efex Pro due to a "personal constraint" that I won't use tools like that, but your pictures certainly makes me rethink that decision. You really have a personal style and even though you're using quite a lot of effects I think your images are truly great! Looking forward to follow this blog! Keep up the great work!

Such a lovely scene! And the processing is fantastic!

what a lovely capture !! I love it :)
