Lovely shot, Andrew-Bede, my dear friend! I remember the same sort of gorgeous fields in Germany when we visited there. Not anywhere near as spectacular as yours, but here is one I shot while there: http://endre-balogh.artistwebsites.com/featured/wheres-waldo-endre-balogh.html

If I may suggest, I think this would be even better if you used the "Lens Correction" filter in Photoshop to compensate for the curvature of the horizon distortion. The horizon line ought to be straight. Also, if this were my photo, I would clone out the tiny black leaf in the upper right corner. It's too little to be significant yet large enough to be a distraction.

I hope you and Beryl are both well and happy!

Fond regards,

Endre

Thanks for your helpful comments Endre :-) I like your German field. I will have a go at the “Lend Correction” and I did wonder about the leaf! L&P, Andrew-Bede

Very nice image! I agree with Endre on the removal of the upper right leaf cluster, however (and it's funny, I'm usually bothered by an uneven horizon) I like the curve as is with maybe a slight bit of leveling. It gives the feeling of a smaller, more intimate world. I might also crop a little off the top since the sky isn't quite as interesting from middle to upper left and the flowers would then appear even more dominant...but I do really like this! (Said he who has no entry again this week!)

Thanks Jon for your kind comment. I tried Endre’s suggestion but I still like more the curve of the horizon! But getting rid of the leaf is better, are we allowed to change our picture?

Yes, it's okay to change your entry up until the deadline.
