Hi Steve, I enjoyed your gallery. You've got me thinking that Santa will probably bring me a painting program for Christmas.

This composition is really effective.

This is one of the most beautiful scenes that I have seen in quite a while. WOW!!! The slight slope of the road as it leads toward a field of warm glorious color. Simply breathtaking Steve. If we don't see this one again it certainly would be a shame because it ranks the top of my list for what that is worth! #3709680

Hurk (Steve) Hurkett December 16, 2006

Kaye ... thanks so much for your kind words ... I hope to get at least one "atta-boy" at the end of the month ... but time will tell ...

Thanks once again

Lynn Margason January 18, 2007

How inviting this is! Wouldn't it be wonderful to have the time to explore such places? Particularly on horseback. This is a lovely composition and makes a terrific photo painting; the sway and wobble of the fencelines would almost seem unlikely in a painting, but is real! This is a favorite fence style of mine. The light is superb. #3834584

Hurk (Steve) Hurkett January 18, 2007

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and insights, Lynn and Kevin ... I appreciate it

Hello Steve,
I just saw this shot and editing. Colours and scenery are very nice. I like colours in a shot. I am just thinking if it was an option to shoot from the other side of the road.. Maybe you can create some extra depth in the shot.. I can also see the overexposure in the sky. It doesn't bother me but in such a great editing job I think avoiding this would finish the shot.. But then again that is my opinion. And I like your photo and editing anyway. Just like the other shots in your gallery. I haven't seen a lot of these kind of edited photos but I like them ALL. Keep up the good work! Best wishes from holland, Corné #4482615

Hurk (Steve) Hurkett July 08, 2007
Thanks so much for your interesting viewpoints ... I appreciate it ... I did take a shot from the otherside of that road (different time of year - I had thought the same thing as you)... a little later this week, I will work on that sky (replacing the color) ... again, thanks for pointing this out ... steve #4484812
