When I first saw and tried to photograph the swirly patterns of the dirt fields I hated the white Quonset hut; when I framed tight, it wound up right in the middle of the image and ruined the composition.  When I went from the 200-400 to the 70-200 to go wider, everything began to fit in the frame (as denise had suggested it would).  The curved road leading to the hut added to the image design, and the hut balanced beautifully with the large white structure in the upper right. We originally thought that it was a church but closer inspection showed that it was a grain elevator.  I made sure to give the small tree on the upper left a nice border.  It was equally important that I give the rightmost tip of the nearest dirt triangle in the lower right corner a nice border. The distant rolling hills draw the viewers eye through the frame toward the horizon.  <\/p>\n<h3>Facebook<\/h3>\n<p>Be sure to like and follow BAA on Facebook by clicking on the logo link upper right.
