About the Image(s)
While winding along Waupaca County’s backroads, I came across a scene that captured everything I loved about Wisconsin’s rural heart. A blue-tiled roof peeked alongside the rich tapestry of autumn’s orange and gold, standing like a beacon in the gentle landscape. Just as I pulled over to savor the view, a yellow school bus eased to a stop nearby, releasing its children. A John Deere tractor with a wagon attached sat proudly in the yard, bathed in the warm glow of the late afternoon sun. It felt like a Norman Rockwell painting brought to life ??” a snapshot of rural charm preserved through generations. Here, in Wisconsin’s quiet backroads, I saw not just a farm, but a place where time seemed to linger. Tech stuff is missing because I took my battery out of the camera and the internal battery that affects this was drained out. I did expose for the sky, I was shooting as ISO 100 and had a polarizer on the lens.
This round’s discussion is now closed!

from the school bus, trees, house, grasses and barn. The colors all go so well together. The curving line of the road and its continuing line brings the eye to the cluster of buildings. The picture is all the more interesting because, even though it's small in the image, is the school bus. All these elements really add visual interest to the image. Well done, Trey.

My gaze swept the scene several times, and the school bus is very important indeed, as it's at a strong point in the picture.
My only regret, perhaps just to say something, is that I would have turned off the ground a little to bring out the roof of the house and the bus. But that's about it. Well done and thank you for stopping to share this moment. Posted: 11/18/2024 01:40:18
