All the activity that we see focused upon inside is within the confines of this garage. Customers can drive up, review the orders, and place and fill their orders with fresh berries upon the spot. This post is more informational than artistic, an establishing sort of shot, like the bigger interior image. Hopefully, between the two workshops, you'll get a clearer sense of the whole operation.

This shows the entire interior scope of the operation, rather than just narrowing in upon our sorter. The raked berries are fed into the chute from outside, come down for machine sorting and then roll onto the belts for hand-sorting and are then collected into the baskets at left upon customer request. PP is only sizing, sharpening, and levels for this one. The change shown here is more about point of view than anything, establishing the scene for you.

I just thought that the original looked somwhat drowned in blue hues (lacking warm colours of yellow and red). Maybe that is just a subjective impression, but nevertheless, here is what I have done:
1) colour balance, red to +25 and yellow to -21
2) hue/saturation, yellow to +14, red to +6

Now looks somewhat warmer...

Best regards, Kristof

Another way to have gone at this would have been to try to keep the subjects even simpler, with tighter cropping to emphasize the contrast. Personally, I prefer the scope and scale of the original post -- the relatively tiny farm scene when compared to the huge plant. I also like its pattern, the repeated elements. But I'm interested in what others think.

Responding to Kelley's feedback, and with more of rule of thirds consideration in mind, I'm uploading this workshop, differently cropped, which I'd originally considered posting. What tipped me toward the first view was it's being more of an establishing shot, and revealing the surrounding context of the riverscape. I'd be interested to hear what others preferences are -- and why.

By cropping a tad off the right, and adjusting the colors slightly with the curves tool in Photoshop, I tried to focus the eye on the major points of interest, the lighthouse, the moored sailboat, and the reflections in the water.

I still think there is too much going on. The subjects are not clearly defined. I tried cloning out some of the distracting lines but it looked too artificial.

The horizon still cuts the shot in half, the horizon is not straight and the lilt of the sail mast is disturbing. Beyond that, it's a winner!
