Print of the Year, Advanced Colored Prints - 2005-6 - NV Photographic Society(Memorability: High (score: 0.727 ) Pop:3.254)

Month #18 - Retrospective of Daily Photos posted from 5/04 to 12/09 (most viewers for the month)

October 2005 - In terms of acceptance at competitions (something I no longer do) this was my biggest winner - Harvest Time. Here's what I wrote way back when -

Print of the Year, Advanced Colored Prints - 2005-6 - Northern Virginia Photographic Society
1st place, Juried exhibit - Scenes from Prince William County - Manassas, VA - January 2006
2nd place, advanced color prints, 12/20/05, Northern Virginia Photographic Society
The rain finally stopped. Off to the Manassas Battlefield to see what I could make of the hay rolls they'd harvested last week (well, not before explaining to an NPS ranger why I didn't have a park entrance pass. I've got one. Honest. It's an NPS Golden Age Passport - which unfortunately is in my other car. This has happened the last two times at Manassas. Guess who has the Passport in his wallet now - finally?)
I would have liked to move a few of these rolls around. This one was the only one within 100 feet of this stereotypical civil war battlefield fence that I wanted to include in the photo. Anyone have a tractor?

Nikon D70s
1/40s f/16.0 at 40.0mm full exif

Beautiful shot! Love the layers of color, and always enjoy seeing the shape of bales of hay round the world. All tidyed up for winter.

Great composition and very well done.
