On a windy evening
Kind regards and have a nice evening
Hans
Hello Hans
Welcome back with your photo of the wind sweeping through a wheat field. I love the colours and textures in the layers, but I have tried to bing out the golden highlights a little more and added some definition. Other than that, the full frame is fine for me and I haven't cropped it at all.
All the best, Elizabeth
Hans,
Thank you for posting 'Windy Day'. I guess that's a wheat field. No matter - the theme is 'windy day'. The bright, warm-gold colours give an optimistic mood. The image is a reminder that the good earth and the sun and the rain provide for us.
From a screen shot I made some changes. First the green stalks seemed to be unnaturally strong in colour so I selected that colour with 'Select>Color Range' in Photoshop and de-saturated them.
There is no 'subject'. The whole frame is the subject. Still, it's good if viewers can latch onto some details rather than be overwhelmed and not know where to start looking. A simple 'trick' that's often used is to Dodge and Burn to create lighter and darker areas in order to guide viewers into the frame. Highlight (subtly) what you want them to see, and subdue other areas to minimize distraction.
A composition that flows left to right may seem more harmonious to many viewers. It's said that in much of the world images are 'read' left to right just as we do for text. After flipping the image left-to-right, I used Photoshop's 'Edit>Transform>Warp' tool to pull the stalks in the upper middle towards the right a little extra. After that step the top of frame details were restored to vertical with History Brush.
It's not easy to photograph the wind, but I think your photo effectively captures the feeling of a windy day. Good work.

Hello, Hans
Welcome back. You chose to visit us with a vice image from nature. As my friend said, capturing the wind is not easy. You gave as the sense of movement, that's for sure. However, though you subject is the wind, there is no direct subject what the eye wants to focus on. Unfortunate for you, this is quite important. You might want to know whether this is so important. Well, if you can hold your viewers' gaze for more than three seconds, you can counter the fact that you have some strong elements in your image. If you consider me as a viewer, I would say that this image does not attract me very much as it is. I am sorry to he so straight forward. However, I think this is why I am responding to you. So, to get me interested, we will have to change or improve things- first of all, I would act add an mind on other materializes elements. I would wat to improve the image through some artistic effects. This will be with bokeh, mainly. I took a snapshot andused photoshop express on my iPad to improve it. I just added a bokeh overlay. This will be an artistic retouch. Here is the result. I hope you like it. Have good light. Cicek...
