Make Hay While the Sun Shines

This is a beautiful shot I lvoe everything about it. You might want to check the spelling of the word “while” in the title though, in case someone orders it with the title printed on it!

Thanks Kathleen and Michelle, and thanks for picking up the typo Michelle.

I love pictures of round bales… they are so cool :D nice work

A really wonderful picture, lovely colours, and great composition.

A fabulous landscape David,it has that “aahh” factor,love it.

I just love the “photo-realistic” quality of this photo… wow.

If Jeffery Smart did landscapes this might be how they’d look. Very nice work.

stunning!

A really beautiful rural scene. Well captured.

Everything is so neat and clean and perfectly placed that it looks so unreal. What an awesome shot, great composition!!

Stunning it is! I wish my family farm had this beautiful view.

So Dali – I love it… briliant work!!!!

This shot looks too good to be true!!! Nice one David!

Very surreal David… I’d love to hear more about how you took and processed this photo…

I like the composition and colours.

Fantastic shot – lovely tones.

A beautiful shot of a drastic sight, one day I hope the water comes back up to cover those fields again!

Love this shot – I have to agree with those who say this looks almost too surreal to be true – like Paul, I took one look at it and thought “Dali”!

The shadows are great, and nice rich colours. I agree with Mel, a drastic sight. The dead trees add a bleakness to it for me, wishing for revegetation.

Undoubtedly one of your best photographs, David.

A very beautiful and well succeeded landscape photo. Almost makes me want to live there…

this is so strange… but i like it. It looks like something that has come out of a 3D program. the fact that it’s a photo makes it awesome :)

Great composition! The old tree in the foreground really makes the shot.

Lovely capture, David. Those leafless trees in the paddock look so strange in that setting, or is it the hay bales that look so strange there…......I don’t know…....but it makes for a great image.

Saw this on the homepage David – and knew it had to be yours.. your style is fantastic..

Simply beautiful.

Great image, no matter how harsh life is there is beauty. Thanks

Very Salvador Dali- all you need now is a melting clock or two.

Love it- the shadows really make it for me

Nice=)

such a fairytaly scenery….. love the shot… makes me want to jump
on the hay and enjoy the sun

Beautiful – I love haystacks. Wonderfully captured.

Very surreal – very Dali – Brilliant work, David, congratulations.

Beautiful landscape
I’m guessing by the dead trees that this is usually under water.

i guess i’m about the 100th person to say i love this shot – reminds me of the great dali

Hi – beautiful photography – was this taken around the snowy mountains? The landscape is very similar

Thanks all. Pinklillies this is taken at the Hume Weir near Albury.

this print is going to make a sensational 30th birthday present for my brother

Thank you Dave, you have made my day, wek and possibly month. I do hope your brother likes it.

Nice shot David. :)

wow…i love the colors of this image, so crisp and beautiful

Nice composition and treatment.

This reminds me of a Salvador Dali painting… beautiful capture David.

It’s just like a painting as mentioned – awesome photo.

Amazing what you can do with a few balls of hay! Very beautiful photo!

So simple yet so striking, wonderful Australiana image

Great shot!! captures what country Australia has looked like in the past few years!

Wow! amazing piece of work!!

Very calming…love the little bundle of hay!

Just saw it on the home page. Fantastic shot. The light and shadows captured brilliantly.

Great image. Love it.

oh wow… the sky in this photo is perfect! and the rolls of hay are perfectly spread out too! nice capture, David!!!

SUPER SHOT. everything is well set and done

great shot well done, very pleasing to the eye

Love the haystacks. Great depth and use of light in the photo. Well done

Beautifull landscape, colours and composition!!!

Wow – this is seriously good! A wonderful image.

This caught my eye! Nice work!

I am so envious of this photo. I’ve been trying to capture hay bales for the past 2 weeks and the farmers are starting to take them in for storing over the winter. Great shot, lovely composition and great perspective.

Beautiful shot, lovely colors, and great composition.

The colours & tree really remind me of a Dali print I once owned. Lovely.

Congratulations on the home page selection!

Great shot.

Saw this wonderful image and thought, “Is it the Somerset dam near Brisbane?” and, of course, it isn’t but it does highlight the state of our shrinking water supplies all over Australia. Beautiful image with a very frightening message to us. Conserve water people!

YEAH MAN EXCELLENT

Love this :)

Great landscaping, David.

Awesome work, David!

This is really lovely! I look forward to seeing more of your work!

Great image, well shot : )

This is one of the most painterly images I’ve seen in a long time! Excellent composition and exposure, David. There is something so mysterious about this photograph. Your color palette is amazing, as are the contrasts and tones in the colors. Superb work! Cheers! Chris

Almost like a painting, wonderful image, so incredibly dry !!

amazing landscape photo. Very nice capture.

great colour and hay bales are really cool subject matter.

It has a Salvador Dali landscape feel. I love it. Nicely done.

Hi David – -Very nice. – have a look at mine – I have done some similar – - I think that they are in outback australia – -

regards Aletta

I love this. Beautifully captured.

Yes Lisa stole my line… it’s a Dali, well it’s you really, but i think it’s that very Dali surreal look that makes it such a striking photo.
Love the composition, lighting and textures.
A truly great shot, well done.

Beautiful shot!

lovely sharp effect—very atmospheric David!

Just wonderful!!!!

one year later..and its still a fav of mine :)

I just love this. Into favs!!!
Cheers Neil

A lovely composition David – gorgeous light and nice placement of the hay bales and trees. A picture that draws you in and keeps you for a while. Well done!

Very nice. Kind of reminds me of a hyper-real version of a Reg Mombassa landscape – but I’m not sure why.

Wow!

Gorgeous lighting! Lovely work of art!!!!!

Dali

Hi David. Style, Class, Elegance, Excellence are looking for photos of this quality and calibre if you are interested in submitting this photo and any other photos you may have of the same quality, (that fall within the guidelines).
Cheers, Graham.

Stunning…in every way!

Reminds me of Dali, I expect to see the tree melting over one of the bales, great work.

In a word – awseome! Nice work David! :)

gorgeous lanscape and colours. Great shot
