Cute title and terrific image Jeff! It is amazing to me how I can walk past a field of green grass or a forest of green trees without noticing them but fill the field with bright wildflowers or the trees with red and orange autumn colors and they become an instant photo op :0) I love your post processing on this one!! #7867710

Nadya Johnson August 20, 2009

Stunning work on this beautiful capture, Jeff! The horses here would be very envious, I think... none of their paddocks have so many wildflowers, and they're intermingled with a lot of nettles to top it off. They seem to enjoy it anyway. Gorgeous shot with wonderful light and lovely effects! #7872606

Tommy E. Burgess August 20, 2009

I started off typing how beautiful this was and decided to start over because this capture has got a real stunning quality to it. The flowers are gorgeous as is the beautiful sorrel mare!! I'm a flower addict and grew up with horses and the icing on this beautiful cake is how your treatments give it a wonderful painted feel. This is a favorite for me and I hope we get the chance to see it again. Well done Jeff!! #7873772

Manuel Barrera August 21, 2009

Jeff- I agree with the others and Tommy put what we all feel so well. It is a winner I would say, love that amazing painted look of the picture. And yes, for me to, two things that so many of us love, flowers and horses, then to be able to get them together like this is one of those rare moments that I know will make it a favorite of yours, not to mention mine. The colors, the setting, everything so beautiful my friend.
Have a great day, you take care. #7887459
