I agree about the saturation being a bit too high. Another suggestion would be capturing either 1/3rd of the sky or the grass setting the other element take 2/3rd. Excellent image nonetheless!

high contrast, high saturated !!! just the one that i like !!

Eye catching image for sure. I might have preferred a)less saturation on the colors and b)a non-square "landscape" view.

I would crop 10% off of the top. The 10% has interesting clouds, but I think it would look better without it. Did you get any longer exposures showing the wheat moving?

wow

Thank you all. Especially Juan and Jon for making it a Favorite.

great object !! the 2 people there is two shining stars for the picture

This is really awesome.

Honestly, I cannot see anything to be critical about in this image. I have nothing but praise! Having the people in this shot to scale is great...it's much like the world of Dali. Truly an incredible shot!

An almost surrealistic picture...
To present it in B&W and to do a square crop were the perfect choices for this. In short: A great picture :-)

colors are fabulous! What is that backround? Very striking photo!

@Sarah: This is a total Photoshop treatment, this started out looking pretty much like this one from the same shoot:

The background is made from combining a shot of tree bark and a shot of an abstract watercolor painting using various Photoshop transfer modes. Thanks for the comments!!

Clyde,

Love the texture and color of the bark - great contrast with the yellow of the flower. Yeah for Photoshop - it really allows us to do so much in a painterly vein. Nice work and instant favorite for me. Lovely composition.

Best,
Jon

nice postpro combination

I like this. Very nice ps effect. The only thing I would suggest is maybe a bit more contrast in the center of the flower to punch it up a little.

like the composition !!

Great work! Even the shadowing is nice!

so good, I'm with Ana, i were looking for some mistake there but it isn't anything wrong, so great.

there is some mistake from the human shadow, specially in front of his face :)but i like the idea

I like the idea to, but the shadow on him I feel is incorrect. If you look at the extinguisher there are two shadows from two stronger light sources. The strongest or more direct is from the upper left and the less is from the upper right. Both lights can be seen in the reflection of the top of the extinguisher. The man only shows one shadow that would come from a light to the back right. Under his shoe the shadow is shown better from the extinguishers light source.

Thanks, Pradeep!

This is great. Love the expression and nice blue, red & yellow palette.

Thanks for the feature! I promise not to delete any more that you deem worthy of featuring:-)

Sincerely,
Jon

Enhorabuena, seguro que es la primera de muchas destacadas.
Saludos

Congrats on the feature!

ooops......

Great capture.

Just in time!

amazing...how u choose the blue tone here give an uncredible effect

absolutely perfect! beautiful! one of the best flower photos I've seen :)

@ple - This is the actual blue tone, I have never seen blue poppies quite like this. :)

@redcatt77 - thank you very much.

high ISO ? i think it's to much grainy

I think the grain/noise was fully intended by Tracy. Anyway, even if it ain't so, I like it, as it brings a special mood, exactly fitting the expression of the portrait. What a look...
Really beautiful.

Thank you Martine, I myself am not a huge fan of grain just as an addition for effect, I think if it fits the image then it works. This was taken with a high iso 1600 or 3200 and while I wish I had a picture of her taken without the high iso, the grain here does add to this particular image.

the choice you make to cature the next one is a good one
