6/19-Elements of Design
DRU Virtual World Tour
This is pretty much what you see in my town.
CORN, CORN, and more CORN!
Aside from cropping and some basic edits, this is just how it looked when shot...no transforming was done to make the curves.

Vicki L. Filippin June 23, 2009
Thanks so much, Usman. They really caught MY eye while driving by them...I didn't want to regret not capturing them right then and there, knowing that in a few days, they just wouldn't look the same. Hubby was patient enough to pull over and let me "create".A P July 21, 2009

WOW! Thank you all SO much.

Great capture Vicki - Congrats & good luck :) #7770963Vicki L. Filippin July 22, 2009
Thanks so much, Carlton. I knew I didn't stand a chance for a win when I saw the other images I was up against. I appreciate the encouragement, however. #7771869David Pratt July 25, 2009
Great image Vicki! #7780015Vicki L. Filippin July 25, 2009

MY KIND OF IMAGE, RED! Something CORNY that has been CURVED! HA!Seriously, this is a really neat image. I love the dark rich soil and the beautiful life giving green! It goes without saying how cool the lines are!!!
YeeWhooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!! -Laura :) #7782078
Graham Robards July 26, 2009
Great job Vicki! I love the lines! ~Pat #7782293Vicki L. Filippin July 26, 2009
Thanks a heap Laura & Pat. It's funny how we can take our "normal" surroundings for granted, but if you make the time to look at them with a different perspective, it can be ART! You don't get a whole lotta time to get a capture like this...they all grow up SO fast, those little ones, huh? #7782577Sherran Andersen July 26, 2009
Eye catching... for sure... LOVE the EOD here Vicki... I am jealous lol!! Sherran #7782882Vicki L. Filippin July 26, 2009
Thanks, Sherran. No need to be jealous...the grass (or corn) always seems greener on the other side of the fence. I think we all get that way when we see what kewl shots other people get of places or thing we would not normally be able to see otherwise. #7782911Amanda D. Austwick June 07, 2010
Love this Vicki, yes we have lots of rows in peoples little gardens around here, but no big corn fields. Very deserving of a Finalist award!!! #8674385Laura E. Swan June 07, 2010
ONCE AGAIN! :D #8675284
Teresa H. Hunt June 08, 2010
Congratulations Vicki! #8678642Vicki L. Filippin June 08, 2010
