Durham Portfolio: Comment on Warm Day in January

Warm Day in January

PHOTO INFO
This was taken during the same afternoon, in the same location, as the image in the previous post.

Post-processing: Shot with the 5D at 17mm. I stopped the camera down quite a bit when I shot this. In post, I changed the white balance from the camera's auto-mode to add more warmth, added some vignetting, applied curves adjustments and desaturated the image overall.

Thanks, everyone! Hope 2006 is off to a great start!

I'm having trouble articulating my thoughts. I am, in an word, stunned.

The scene is fragile. Running, the lad is terribly small in the immensity of all that surrounds him. But even the sky, the land, and of course the shed seem to have a mysterious fragility - in response to the boy, maybe? I don't know. As I said...I can't quite get find the words...

But here's some, haphazardly:
tire-splashed muddy ground,
hope,
cherish,
awesome.

Wow, hard to believe there are only two comments on this one -- all of your images have amazing beauty, but this one strikes me as special. I can't put my finger on why I like it so much, but I do. Striking and lovely.
