Landscape Photo Competition 2013 No 4 : Entry Number 463

Judges Comment

The red evening sky sets off the orange of the pumpkins making this such a nice warm toned image. The square format is strong and the short depth of field cleverly holds the eye on the foreground subject making this a very good pumpkin photo. Perhaps a longer depth of field, with sharper focus all the way back to the distant pumpkins, would have drawn attention more to the size of the field and the crop, making this same view into a very good landscape photo. ☺ ( P.S. I don’t understand how you got such a sharp sky and horizon when the distant pumpkins seem out of the focus range at this screen definition (?)

Photographers Comment

I used a tripod and shot two photos with different exposure. You are right, the sky and horizon are to sharp, the autofocus did this! I multiplicated both pictures with a mask in photoshop. The result isn't perfect :-) Thank you for the good comment! I shot it with pentax k30 camera.
