Antonia, thanks for your detailed comment. You have an eagle`s eye... This funny thing in the corner is no curler cap, but an artifact from clone stamping there ;-).

Lovely. The detail in the field is rich in appeal as it compliments the soft fluffy clouds, and the sepia works very well with the contrasting tones in this. I've read the comments about problems with verticle/horizontal. Interestingly, the level horizontal of the first "line" created by the soil formations in the foreground is a tip-off that the land has a natural rise to the left, rather than being "off," and so it relieves the tension over that for me. Now for a bit of humor: Someone dropped a "curler cap" (remember those?). It is in the righthand lower corner. Sorry, I couldn't resist. Really, Carsten, I love this image --- it's fabulous. Antonia

Carsten, Thank you for being polite about my hideous version, probably not a good idea to divide the picture along two colors like that.
I used the wrong word. "Tilt" implies a failure to correct an imperfect horizon which will never be the case with your meticulously perfect work. I knew this was sloping ground. The adjustment has to be one of a vestibular nature (me), not of photoshop. Best regards.

A technically perfect photo whereby the picture-formation became something less good. Regards Gerhard

PS: a very wide lens for 6x6 would be 26 mm (this is 16 mm equivalent for 35 mm film, or 10 mm for DSLR like my own Canon 300D). Such a wide angle on a 6x6 offers 50 cm to infinity stopped down to f:22 ;-)

Svend, thanks for your insightful comment ! The slope was already mentioned by others, and I had really a hard time to cope with that - to rotate or not, because the slope is real ;-)
FOV and digital - yes, that`s a point for the digicams. My good old G1 had a DOF from 10 cm to infinity @f:8 and 7 mm (that is 34 mm in 35 mm film terms). My DSLR is not that good, but the 10-22 mm zoom lens has a DOF from 23 cm to infinity @ f:8, not bad as compared to a 6x6 Hassy with 80 mm lens @f:8, 13 m to infinity ;-) ok, stopped down to f:22 4,85 m to infinity
Regards; Carsten

Lily, thanks for your version with grey toned sky - I like it too, now I consider another variant with blue toned sky... Regarding the horizon slope: quite right, but I did not fix it because the slant is real ;-)

Elisabeth, thanks for stopping by. As you, Lily, and Svend note, horizon slope is noticeable. It was really a hard time I had to chose between straight horizon and my deja-vu: in reality, the ground is ascending, and full correction hurts abit when I see this picture with straight horizon. A good indicator of leveled shots is growth direction of the trees, not applicable here with this perspective ;-)
Regards; Carsten

This picture is a breath of earthy spring air. I like the slightly skewed effect of the horizon due to the very gentle upwards roll at left. The strength of this picture is its infinite depth of field from immediately foreground to absolute background, which apparently is almost automatic with digital cameras? (Something I'm curious about.) Smart sepia toning to emphasize the earthiness of the field.

Very dramatic effect and a wonderful kind of eerie feel to this. Great work again my friend!

I feel slightly tilted to the right, as if on a slope. Brown tones very nice for the bare earth. Clouds look really good. I also thought same image would look good with grey toned sky. This is probably frowned upon in photography but something I went ahead and tried. It's only a variation and not a replacement for the sepia version which is beautiful as it is.

result is great Carsten! I might consider a couple of thing: 1) a softer virage and 2) a tighter crop.

Anothe masterpiece from one of my favourite photographer. I don't know if it's an optical effect, but it seems that the horizon is a little bit pending on the right side. Maybe I mistake.
