Beautiful vivid colors and scenery! You make that sky POP! Is it this vivid without Orton? It is a wonderful capture, one that would look very good on a card! Now you have me feeling the urge to go out and find some sunflower fields! :)

8/13/2007 11:14:16 AM

Girl this is wonderful, I sure wish I had a field of flowers like that. The color is so WOW.

8/13/2007 12:01:19 PM

8/13/2007 5:24:36 PM

Beautiful, Peaches! Great color & effects. I think Catch-All is a good category for this.

8/13/2007 5:42:49 PM

WOWWWWW Nancy!!!! Gorgeous!!!! I love the colors!!

8/13/2007 5:44:09 PM

A wonderful presentation of brilliant colors; such a happy and festive image!

8/13/2007 8:40:16 PM

I hope they upload in the right order.

8/13/2007 9:13:39 PM

another great photo friend. I have to agree, that sky just stands out so wonderfully without drowning out the field of sunflowers. Love the three dimension look of it with the field of sunflowers, then the shed, then the sky. Colors so vivid and sharp. Great job girl.

8/13/2007 9:34:55 PM

Ahhhhhhhhh, Sorry Liz, They were ALMOST there and I got disconnected, Dial up suck's, will try again in a bit!

Thanks so very much Frank. Have a super day buddy!

Very beautiful image, Nancy!! Super work!!

8/14/2007 7:27:29 PM

Thank you very much Evy!

8/14/2007 7:38:10 PM

Peaches, this has to be one of my favorites! The sky is just gorgeous and I love all the sunflowers and the red building (what is that anyway?) divides the two and provides such a nice splash of color. I think the Orton worked really well on this one! There is supposed to be a field of sunflowers near Tampa, but I don't know just where and I am afraid he will have plowed them up before I can get there. The paper said a couple more days and they would be gone. I would sure love to go photograph them if I knew they would be there!

8/15/2007 12:08:49 AM

Thanks so much Carol, they are storage units, I was standing on the road side.

8/15/2007 12:28:39 AM

Peaches...you are setting the standards very HIGH! This is a beautiful, creative comp....with everything working together in harmony. The vibrant colors, textures, elements of design...perfect perspective....all add up to another skillful and artistic photo! Well done.....Lynn
