[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Yesterday evening i was driving out to the other side of the island when i spotted this wonderful scene.
I parked my car and walked down through the field until i was no less than 5 meters from the closest part of the water jet! Luckily the wind was blowing from behind me, and this allowed me to get some fairly nice shots.

I used an ND8 Graduated filter

Great shot! In a hot day, it asks you to join under...

Hi Jamie,
What a nice composition you have made. This is known as creating the sht instead making the shot. Kudos for this crative gem in you.
The blending of clouds , Sunlight and the water has a mysterious effect.

This is a rare shot on TE.

Once I also posted a B&W shot in the similar fashion but your details are far beeter then that shot of mine.

TFS,
Rajeev

Hi Jamie,
What an interesting and original effect,it looks like a touch-down cloud in a tornado.
I like a lot the post processing,the strong colors are on my taste.
Lucky you to stop the car there:)

Hello ,
Wonderful indeed ,it was a great idea to stop and shot this one.
Well done.

Cheers!

Hi Jamie,
I'm speechless, I don't think I can add to what the others have said. I wish I could give some kind of idea to improve your shot, but I can't, to me it's just perfect. Wonderful colors, composition and original idea.
King regards

Jamie,
Unusual and original concept - boy those are getting hard to find - results in a cornfield landscape we've not seen before - disturbing the flow of conventional sunsets photos. That's probably a good thing! ;)

Regards
Colin

Jamie: easy to see why this one gets the green - your use of DOF here is spot on. A fine piece. c

Hello Jamie,

Very nice with the water from the sprinkler installtion. I was only wishing for a rainbow :-). Haha, yep I can imagine what would have happened if you had the wind coming from the front :-).

Have a nice weekend,
Dennis
