Description
On his recent album "Americana", Neil Young re-interprets some classic traditional songs like "Oh Susannah" & "Clementine". I was listening to it yesterday morning & then my wife & I went for a walk in the afternoon & passed this abandoned farm house which seems to me to be a prime example of Americana (this is the same house I posted a photo of a few days go).
I used a combination of the Photoshop Camera Raw filter, Ink Outlines filter & a couple of Perfect Effects 8 filters to create this effect...
Much more detail in zoom.

I can easily imagine someone sitting on this porch singing one of those songs. The filters you used are just right for this subject.

Such a different view from the last one. This is truly a graphic! And it feels very old, traditional (in the Americana sense), but also very alit and modern, with the luminosity of stained glass. Your composition starts on the right (for me at least) and branches out from there; and you do it by getting an increasingly broadened perspective from right to left, and it gives a nice music to the shot as we move from right to left. The light resembles those old Japanese prints, where the inks got this luminous saturated look (like Hokusai or Hiroshige, with those beautiful saturated hues); and that big bold orange in the left-sky is sumptuous. Amazing how a sheer hue can balance all that activity on the right. I like when you go further and further into an image and come up with something like this. You have whole vistas awaiting you each time you take on a picture; and there seems to be no end to what you can explore once you're there. This has a print-like feel to it. Vivid and still restful somehow. Maybe that's in the Americana feel...More vivid power and detail from you. I have to stop now, but I'll be back. And btw, that big sun in that shot you saw of mine? (Thank you again for your perceptive and fine comments) That was from a very early hour, where the sun appears much bigger than it is the rest of the day (until dead sunset). Scientists can explain the optics, I can't. Also, it probably has to do with my zoom (which creates unrealistic proportions/perspectives). But it's also because the people were tiny, in that shot; so when I excerpted them agains the sun, their tininess made the sun look huge by comparison. If you saw the original, you'd see a sun and two tiny people. The sun looks big when you zero in on them...One of the reasons I love to shoot at dawn...)

A perfect example of the old "Americana" photos of our youths!
