You may not think of Arizona and agriculture in the same sentance, but you should. We have over 700,000 acres of field crops. Apples, alfalfa, beans, beets, broccoli, over 20 different crops are grown. Cattle, horses, and all the usual animals are raised along with the unusual. And don’t forget, parts of the movie Oklahoma where filmed here.

I imported and tagged the photo with Photo Mechanic. I used Adobe Lightroom for adding color profiles, basic adjustments, and exporting jpgs from the raw to simulate HDR. I used Photomatix to tone-map the images into an HDR image. I spruced-up the image using the Topaz plug-ins: Denoise, Detail, and Adjust, then touched-up the image using Adobe Photoshop.
