Mirror Plains, a photo from Okayama, Chugoku

Photographer's Note

Newly flooded rice fields in my town, that's name would translate as "Mirror Plains" in English. Seems suiting.

This shot is heavily processed, being both a stitch of three shots to make a pan, and an HDR blend of three exposures. So I guess there is actually 9 shots in this picture.

Click on the picture to see the full pan.

hi David,

I think well worth your efforts .. beautiful vibrant spring .. all sorts of powerful symmetry .. nice layered depth .. good motion in the sky .. I might have some thoughts about secretly and discreetly ridding the universe of those power lines .. wonderful image. take care, John

Hello David,
very nice play of light and shadows in your picture of intense colours. I like the contrast and depth as well as the green path between two rice fields.
Well done
Best regards
Romana
