Flower pot warning, and the close of my 27th year

Three handheld RAWs // HDR // Shutter: varied // Aperture: f/20 // Focal Length: 17 mm // ISO 320

- an afternoon scene of very low population density, out in the Red Hills area of south central Kansas - taken on August 31st.

I’m turning 28 tonight at 3:19 AM, but I’m hoping to be asleep for the occasion. And because of my birthday, I’ll be editing the About page to something a little more up to date - in addition to the needed improvements I need to make for my site in the near future.

On this photo concerning the editing, I have vacillated - as I tend to do often with most everything - betwixt and between a hearty fulfillment and a cynical sneer at my editing treatment. With HDR and Photomatix, I’m still allergic and sensitive to seeing subtle halos everywhere.
