Holland Ridge Farms is a flower farm in Southern New Jersey. They have two plantings a year with the first tulips and the second sun flowers and other flowers. My wife and I visited for the third time yesterday and had a wonderful time as in the past. It's a joy to walk in the fields that go on nearly as far as you can see. You are able to pick flowers for purchase and they sell an amazing variety of tulips and I have some of there varieties in our garden. My wife picked flowers and there now in a vase on our dining room table. We were both taking photos, enjoying the stunning day and sights as well as doing some people watching. As we went on a weekday it was not that busy which is best for photography unless you want photos of the people. Besides photographing the flowers, I took a photo of a photographer with his model.
Comments and suggestions welcome,
Morris

My kind of place Morris
Lots of beauty everywhere! We visited the Flower Fields in California, it was spectacular. One of these years will get to Holland Michigan for the tulip festival.
First image like three sunflower people staring at me
Zinnia in #2 with color echoes in bg is pretty as is the lone Cosmos in the last

Thank you Karl,
I had a ball composing these. For some I was dialing in the size of the specular highlights with my apature.

Thank you Chris,
Yes it's a lot of fun to visit this farm. More images are about to be posted.
What a great setting to visit Morris, nice work on the sunflowers. Sometimes it is overwhelming to pick out a composition in such a dense population, but you found some nice angles.
