Description

A rural scene at dusk, Guilin, China. This farmer has just finished harvesting the day's rice crop. There was about 3 stops difference of exposure between the foreground & sky. I didn't have a graduated ND filter with me, so I exposed for the farmer & created a ND filter effect using a gradient in the adjustment layer in photoshop.
