Day 213 of 366
Red d'Anjou Pears made for a nice RGB scene. Upper valley micro climate makes for some of the best pear growing ground you can find. The pears look bigger than they are...still several weeks of growing to do.
Why Compelling Well, I love to play with RG -

Day 212 of 366
Woke up with a headache and it lasted all day. I was up early enough for the sunrise and though I did not have time to get to a location with an interesting foreground, I thought this worked well enough.

A harvested wheat field that was not expected to be. Showed up here for a photoshoot and it was already harvest. The album cover shoot went on as expected and this image was shot with a series of ideas for the back cover.

Day 206 of 3696
Went to a house with known quantities of hummingbirds tonight. I liked this one out of the set.

Day 203 of 366
Sunset colors on Columbia River tonight.
Why Compelling
I like the color in the sky (as shot and the JPG shot with the RAW file looks very close to this) I like the rocks and the exposure bracketing merge to control the contrast range in the scene.
