That's beautiful I'm going to make this my desktop (if possible) - Matt Ruiz

Sure and thank you, Matt! :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Haha, no problem. - Matt Ruiz

Whenever I decide to walk to these fields normally they are usually half grown or cut down, so luckily this day they were there and green. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

ah, reminds me of when I was little. We lived by the country-side... - Valeria Maltoni

Lucky we have countryside just across the road from us. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

I thought someone might say that. I'm not actually sure myself. - Kol Tregaskes

I am Cornholio! I will take this land for my bunghole! - Michael Fidler

Fantastic shot! - Fossil Huntress

Hehe, Michael. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Thank you, Fossil. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Oh love that. Planning a trip across the US - seeing this is on the agenda strangely enough - Lindy Asimus

Cool, enjoy, Lindy. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

I've used this as my new custom theme for my profile page: http://friendfeed.com/koltreg... :-) 1680x1050 version might be big for a lot though? - Kol Tregaskes

Looks amazing, Kol. - Stephen Mack

:-) - Kol Tregaskes

Nice shot but the tree on the right throws it a bit. - Aaron Brethorst

True but I like it. :-) It's actually makes a pleasant FF theme, lots of greens! :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Gorrrrrgeous, Kol! Love the way the top horizontals work with the twitter page layout. And Cornholio comment, ROTFL! - Jeannette Gutierrez

Thank you, Jeannette. It seems to work well as a background image so going to put it up where a service lets me. :-) Plurk for one might work. Can anyone suggest other services that allow theme editing like FriendFeed and Twitter? - Kol Tregaskes

Hmmm, try Tumblr and Ning. Posterous might have customization, too...? - Jeannette Gutierrez

"Looks like wheat to me." - 'Corn' in England means 'cereal grains.' Wheat is corn, rye is corn, and maize is corn. - John Craft

Now that I'm seeing the whole picture (I just saw this on your Twitter and FriendFeed backgrounds), now I really like it. - John E. Bredehoft

So it *is* a cornfield. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

This is basically the view out front of our house. The fencing is for the basketball court, normally used to play football by the kids on the estate. - Kol Tregaskes

Nice. Add some brief editing in MemShop or Madden and Cap Bryant may remember facing Brady in his early sports stardom. Thanks. - Test Information Space

Eh? - Kol Tregaskes

Semantics of football season, soccer or American, aside, spectacularly lit scenes make good memories. W.r.t. Purefold discussions, a utility to construct these would be relevant to BR-type plots involving replicants, including the early history of the next decade..Bryant's lack of empathy could lead to interesting contrasts. There is also a question of how to distinguish real memories, as well as what the rules of evidence become. Thanks. - Test Information Space

I'm still lost. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

If you tweak the B&W one a little, it would be great. B&W is great or turning a ordinary photo into somthing more. Adds, atmosphere, drama. Lightroom et al should allow you to tweak it by colour. - Roberto Bonini from iPhone

How would you tweak the B&W one? - Kol Tregaskes

And I just realised it was your pic kol. Didint mean to give u a lecture :) - Roberto Bonini from iPhone

LOL, how would you tweak it? - Kol Tregaskes

Give me a sec. I'll post it. - Roberto Bonini from iPhone

OK, cool. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Yeah, the infrared has probably not helped there, but was just playing as other options where not working. - Kol Tregaskes

Here Kol: http://friendfeed.com/rbonini... - Roberto Bonini

Color in this case... unless you want to go for more of a wintery feel... the B/W has no warmth but is interesting to look at. The color photo feels more alive and inviting to view. - Ken Stewart | ChangeForge

Thank you, Roberto and Ken. I think I simply went infrared as it was different. It also kept the detail but perhaps a darker version would be better? - Kol Tregaskes

How would you alter the colour version? - Kol Tregaskes

Detail is a bit hard to make it given the size uploaded, but shading, contrast, etc. is entirely a gut check on your part. Maybe a polarizing filter might be cool, but there is already a good bit of contrast... What is the application for the color (colour) version? - Ken Stewart | ChangeForge

I'm almost 100% sure I would have had a polarising filter on the lens at the time. - Kol Tregaskes

Completely unlike me, I [refer the color one. It has more depth and life. There's much more detail in the b&w, but I don't think it's necessary to get the feeling of the place. - Heather

Sitting in 35C heat right now. I miss snow soooo much. - Andrew Smith

Hehe, I bet Andrew. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

booo, who curses July with snow, thats just not gonna blow, :( - chaz2b

Ha, my first thought before reading the caption was "FIRST SNOW WHERE?!?!?" I'm sweating my balls* off over here. *my non-existent balls - Lo the Baker

I think I know where your high testosterone level comes from now, Lo ;) - Eivind

It's beautiful, Kol! - Rollin' in the LB

Hehe, I'm sure it's not hot everywhere. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

I promise to do a more summery photo next time. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

How much photoshoppery do you normally do to a pic? Personally I just tend to crop and fix the exposure in Lightroom and not mess too much. - Alex Lomas

More corrections and tidy-ups than anything but sometimes I having fun with a picture. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
