Walter,
Many thanks for your kind words about this image, and your 'Like'; very much appreciated. I do believe you are correct that Mr. Aamodt does have Norwegian ancestors. Thor Aamodt started the orchard in 1948 and it is still family owned and operated. There are many Norwegian and Swedish families in our state.
A very well executed shallow DOF-picture, giving this image a fairytale-like expression.
B.T.W.: Mister Aamodt, who clearly runs a Bakery & Store, must indeed have Norwegian ancestores with that particular name (common in Norway).
Thank you, hys, yuriylux and akemi-n / Robert, for the 'Like' to this image. This is an old picture from July 2010 with my first Nikon-camera, the D90.
Of all the photos I've seen on this site, this shot is by far my favorite, and in my opinion one of the very best.
The highest compliment I can pay another photographer about one of their photos is to say " I wish I had taken that", which is what I say every time I view this shot.
It is sharp, well composed, with wonderfully shallow depth of field, and contains all the essential elements. It is an outstanding image.
Robert
Thanks a lot, hys - both for the colorful comment AND the 'Like' to this image! I am lucke, here in Norway almost all barns are painted this red-color - it's called "Barn-Red"!
