Corn...Rows???

Corn...Rows???
6/19-Elements of Design
DRU Virtual World Tour
This is pretty much what you see in my town.
CORN, CORN, and more CORN!
Aside from cropping and some basic edits, this is just how it looked when shot...no transforming was done to make the curves.

  Very nice image Vicki. That is what you see around here in North Alabama too, but our are straight. I like yours better.

  Thanks Mary Beth..and Kathy
Ours are "usually" straight, too...that's why I loved what I spotted here. I joke that the farmer must have been dipping into the moonshine a bit early, but this area was actually along the property line, which was curved.

  Thanks so much, Usman. They really caught MY eye while driving by them...I didn't want to regret not capturing them right then and there, knowing that in a few days, they just wouldn't look the same. Hubby was patient enough to pull over and let me "create".

  WOW! Thank you all SO much. I've been so busy building my website and getting the business going that I hadn't even paid attention to what day it was getting close to and was gone most of the day and all evening. What a pleasant surprise to close my eyes to for the night! Best of luck to all of YOU who received finalists, too!

  Thanks a heap Laura & Pat. It's funny how we can take our "normal" surroundings for granted, but if you make the time to look at them with a different perspective, it can be ART! You don't get a whole lotta time to get a capture like this...they all grow up SO fast, those little ones, huh?

  Thanks, Sherran. No need to be jealous...the grass (or corn) always seems greener on the other side of the fence. I think we all get that way when we see what kewl shots other people get of places or thing we would not normally be able to see otherwise.
