"The Hay Field, Clun" by

Whilst taking photos at Clun Castle ruins in the town of Clun, Shropshire, I noticed this beautiful rural view of a nearby field that had been harvested and then left with the bails of hay dotting the open pasture. “What a marvelous scene,” I thought to myself. I wanted to get into the photo just the edge of the stone wall of the castle to give the image a bit of depth and contrast. This is why I love landscape photography. That sky was just the topping on the cake. This is a HDR image combining 3 bracketed photos using Photomatix Pro 4 for Mac.
