I’ll dedicate the next 2 weeks to you then Dustin, I have a couple of more landscap’ish shots I took while away last week in Christchurch, NZ.

I keep my dock hidden, then any wallpaper wont look silly ;-)

I love this, it reminds me of Kansas-back home-where the food is good.

I agree with bazokajoe, it would have been better with more focused foreground and less blurred background.

I love your Desktop Fridays, I’ve gotten many a good wallpaper from you. This shot bothers me a little bit, however (and I mean this in the most constructively possible way).

To me, what you are attempting to capture is the fine, delicate simple shapes in the wheat stalks (I’ve done similar with long grasses). The major problem in this shot (at least to me) is that you’re trying to capture something very simple, but have a busy, complex background that takes the eye away from what you’re trying to focus on. Also, the colors between what the piece is focusing on and the background are very similar and blur together a bit.

Now this is just my opinion, and I’m sure for every one of someone like me there’s another who loves the composition. You should try going back to the same location on a partly cloudy day and trying the same shot with more sky with a couple clouds as the background and see what a difference it makes.

Very nice, Glenn. I love the depth of field and how softly blurred the background is.
