Buttermilk County

Buttermilk CountryThere are interesting muted tones in this image.  It appears this picture was taken early morning after the golden hour.  What I like about this image are the yellows and oranges in the foreground foliage, giving soft pastel hues to this high California desert landscape.The rich blue sky complements the colors in the flowering plants. 

I think I would have liked to have seen this shot taken a couple of hours earlier in the day, about one half hour after sun rise.  The distant mounting would most likely have taken on a golden hue that would have continued the foreground color.  The composition is nice but there are no strong elements that standout.

It’s interesting with the muted tones that the foreground, middle gournd and distance all blend into one continus tone.

  1. I like the contrast between the colorful plants in the foreground and the almost monochrome mountains. The tiny view of the dirt road is intriguing; it makes you want to travel it to discover what’s around the corner.

  2. I like this image very much. It looks very painterly although I would prefer to see the colors punched up a bit more. What would it look like as a vertical?

  3. I like this image a lot. This is an “I would mount it on my wall” image.
