Wish You Were Here

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange
a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl,
year after year,
running over the same old ground. What have we found?
The same old fears,
wish you were here.

Repost - got a few pointers on this one to make it better. So I went dark on this one with one of the other bracketed captures to help with the hot spot where the sun was. This one had a more dramatic sky. This is also now an HDR Infrared image. Removed the frame for a fuller image.

I think I'd like it more if it was just the bottom part of the picture (cropped into a landscape). Somehow the scattered mess of branches at the top seems to distract from the atmosphere, but maybe it's just me.

I understand but thank you for telling me the what you see and what you feel. Always welcome.

Very nice.
Love the copper like tones.
The only thing I might try differently is to pull some of the blue out. Seems like there is a blue tint on the "green" area that seems a little out of place.

Life is the time spent sifting through mediocre moments in search of those which are extraordinary.

I never thought of that I will give that a try. Hey thanks for the pointer. How are you doing?

The colors give it a sad feeling yet it's still beautiful. Very nicely captured. :+fav:
