[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The skies were awash with very interesting clouds yesterday afternoon in the Chilliwack area. I had to rush about to find a few spots where somewhat of a foreground could be used as part of an image. I had been by this place numerous times but always more interested in a barn across the road from here. So anyways, hope you enjoy this very rural scene.

Bonjour Gerald
Un cadrage que j'aime ici et également cette bonne complémentarité de couleurs entre le premier plan et ce ciel aux nuages en mouvement.Une belle composition verticale.
Bonne journée.
Amicalement

Hi Gerald,
No need to say that the clouds make the compositon and give the picture a large boost.. But if i look at the bottom than those yellow/orange colours are also bringing live and colour inside the photo...i like that part a lot.

Hi Gerald,
Lovely vertical presentation of this beautiful old farmstead with the beatiful blue sky and incredible clouds so wonderfully complimented by the golden tones of the foreground.

A really great title! Fantastic clouds well captured! If course you know I love the old buildings! The colors are beautiful! I do love that Chilliwack area~! TFS

Hi Gerald. Yes indeed a wonderful sky. I like the contrasting colours of FG and sky you have captured in this shot. Nice work and thanks for sharing.
Have a good weekend, Paul.

Your search for a foreground paid off. The classic thirds compo works very well and the orange and green grass is an excellent complement to the gorgeous clouds that have caught your eye. Well spotted.

Hi Gerald,
all the ingredients for a good rural picture are right here : nice, soothing view, a lovely farm, cool framing and perfect overall definition, great contrast between those wonderful skies and the yellows/oranges in the field underneath. GOOD JOB!
Have a nice weekend, I'll see you soon.

Hello Gerald,
Very nice making this farm with excellent contrast of colors. The vertical format is doing very well to highlight this fantastic sky. Well done.
Best regards.

Hi Gerald,
Beautiful shot with splendid vertical composition. The sky is amazing, the colours and lights are very nice. Great atmosphere,
Have a nice weekend

Hi Gerald!

Excellent and "fitting" title for this fabulous photo! Great choice of the vertical framing, excellent composition, perfect light managment, the "warm" tones of the ground contrast very well, with the "cooler" tones of the sky! Great use of the polarizer! Congratulations!

Hi, Gerald -

A lovely shot with great colors and cloud formations. I would have taken it for a Canadian prairie scene, until I spotted the mountain in the distance.

Best,
Dan

Bonjour Gerald,
un ciel très expressif et contrasté, s'oppose aux couleurs plus chaudes du sol.
Excellent cadrage qui lui donne de l'importance et le placement de cette fernme, une toute bonne idée.
Regards.
Daniel.

Gerald,
the image is superb. The clouds in the sky and the orange color in the foreground make a wonderful sandwich for the barn in the middle. The vertical compo seems to be the right choice to explore that sky at its best.

Hi Gerald

The yellow fg contrasts well against the superb blue sky. Well framed & the fg ranch provides a good focal & anchor point for the composition. Tfs!

Hi Gerald,
Good work getting a strong FG to anchor your magical sky; excellent detail and color throughout.

Hi Gerald,

I am not sure what attracts me more to this image, the clouds or the building. I think is perhaps the good balance of the two elements. The shape of the clouds is very pretty giving them a very dynamic effect. The image is well composed and the colours truly look great. Thanks Gerald.
