This fall, I spent a lot of time across Alabama in the USA passing the huge farms growing cotton to be spun into clothes to dress the world. Not so long ago these valuable crops were harvested by slaves, laboring under the hot southern sun. Today, Heavy machinery does a weeks work of 100 men in one day. I had never seen the cotton in it's natural form until stopping one day to investigate. Such an unusual plant, with such a history and such promise. I think they are beautiful.

Good job but cotton is not white enough for me:)

thanks, but that's the natural color, no color adjustments at all. this was taken on a cloudy day, so the 5600K is the natural blue tone for daylight under these conditions.

The whites are white enough for me....HDR automatically brings out shadow, and that is what can be seen in the whites

For a Center composition could use a square format.9,5 point for me.
