beautiful...it is ok to get kicked out as long as you have your shots...lol #7944678Jack Ryan September 15, 2009
What photographer hasn't been "kicked out" at least once? It goes with the territory. Excellent image...worth the effort. #7944797Ron McEwan September 15, 2009
I agree with Jack. Beautiful work Maria.There was a woman in Colorado a few years ago tried to make me believe she owned the whole mountain range. #7944941

Well, remember, you can photograph from any public road without permission. You couldn't legally sell photos of recognizable property without a release, but you could photograph the mean farmer who chases you. Another beautiful composition, Maria. You don't need a release to sell this one. #7944984David Phalen September 15, 2009
Excellent light, comp, colors and details in a beautiful floral!! #7945142Monnie Ryan September 15, 2009
Somehow I don't think sunflowers qualify as recognizable property, Maria. You just ran into a mean son of a gun! It's beautiful, so in the end you win! #7945387John Connolly September 15, 2009
That was not a very neighborly thing to do to a photographer, Maria!Stefania Barbier September 15, 2009
