Country Road

Here is one of the places where I spend many an early morning taking photos of Mt. Fuji and the road I take to get there. It's a really peaceful area. No people (except the occasional photographer), no traffic, just some birds, animals and lots of big yellow spiders.

My immediate response when I opened this was, Oh WOW! Just gorgeous! I love the soft colors.

Wow, that sure does look peaceful. While a little more saturation would be nice, it's still a very nice scene, Craig. More!

Thanks JT! When I do "Save for Web" it often looses some of the saturation. The original file looks better, but I can't post it with the 100k limit they impose here, sorry.

loved it ...

Thanks! It's actually a digital blend of two jpegs made from the same RAW file, but don't tell anyone.

I would love to see this same scene shot at a different time of day, say late evening, lovely shot just the same.

Great suggestion! I'll try it!

that looks pretty cool!

Nice composition, and the muted colours work wel.
I'd try and remove the slight 'halo' along the contrast lines?

I like your pastel colours too.

Wonderful, it does look like a pastel watercolor painting. I wouldn't know how, but I bet you could enhance that effect in photoshop.

Looks like a superb place for a morning stroll.
