Good work.

I think I don't merit this place, anyway I am very motivated to follow your comments, it's very kind of you ...
I don't pushed the picture, I done just an autolevel in Photoshop elements (it's new for me, i used to work in a little B&W darkroom not in front of my computer ...) and I was not really happy with my composition, but I red the rules, and kept that we could'nt not change too much things on the original picture, and I was afraid of changing forbidden things (I don't yet understand all that technical stuff ...)..
Hope you can help me as I can help you ... Thank you again

Thank You all for your very constructive comments, I am quite new in digital photography and digital pictures manipulations(I swapped a old 28-70 2.8L Canon for a Leica digilux), I am very happy but it is a different way to manage pictures... I tried not to change too much things in the original picture (it's why it's not cropped), and with Photoshop Elements I only done an auto levels correction, and that's all (or maybe I tried a sharpening) I was not very happy with the shot quality but all your comments will help me to enhance and learn to manage digital imagery... Thank you all ...
I am looking for a Canon Eos 10D for around 900-1000$, someone interested selling me one ??
(I have still canon analog EOS3 body and 2 Canon L Zoom lenses, and would like to use them ... in digital)...

Thank you all

Composition is excellent, however I think the [insert whatever plant that is here] in the middle of the frame should be in focus.

Nature at its finest, great shot!!

Nice colors and patterns.
07/22/2003 10:59:53 AM
Great colors, seems like it should be rotated slightly to the right. But what do I know. Still very nice

I definitely like this....just needs to have the bit of horizon cropped....love the would richness of the green on the let that leads to great muted tones throught to the right and the wonderful texture contrasts. NICE!

Good photo! I think it could have been improved slightly, however, by cropping it slightly at the top to cut out the grass and the red object.

Wonderful.

Since Round is the topic, your round items should be in focus...

Cool idea!!! Nice colors!! :-)

Wow the colors in this picture are dramatic! How?
07/19/2003 07:54:50 PM
If more of the big round buds (or whatever they are) were in focus I think the shot would have much more impact.I love the texture of the flattened grass.

pretty

Pretty picture and I like the effect with the colours. I can see round things, but not sure the picture conveys the impression of roundness particularly.
07/18/2003 08:37:27 AM
Love this shot and ranked it very high, even though it looks to be a little off level? Great colors and neat idea. thanks

Wonderful shot. I love the colors. Are those poppies? Good luck
07/16/2003 09:26:45 PM
Great color and good focus - 7

this is a stunning colorful picure. a pitty that you did'nt crop out the top 5 millimeters. For me, it is not a price winner for the subject "round", but ... wow, it is facsinating indeed.

Very nice image. The colors are so intriguing. One thing to consider is the horison line. Is it necessary? Or could it have been less on an angle or maybe a bit more of it showing... Otherwise I'm all about this photo!

Very cool....like the contrast and sublety of the colors. Also very nice lines going on here...
07/16/2003 01:38:19 PM
You did a great job with the colors here! I also love the contrast between the lines of the field, and the roundness of the plants. Maybe it's a bit too out of focus in some areas, but I don't know if that's what you wanted or not. 8

Poor crop at the top and the shot is not straight. Beyond that this is very interesting, very good coloring, very cool.
07/16/2003 02:01:39 AM
wow. the fields have this abstract look. I really love the colors. nice contrast between round and linear.
07/16/2003 01:21:19 AM
Wow what an amazing pallette of colors. It looks like a battle scene. So cool!
