Took a trip to the Mayfield Lavender Farm today which was amazing. As soon as you pull up there is a sea of purple and the smell is wonderful. I took a walk through the field and then stopped for a quick refreshment. Was a lovely morning.Directions.

Beautiful work Balwant! Amazing color. I love the lines that lead your eye back. Yes the horizon is split, but it doesn't bother me here!
Nice work!

Very nice Blawant!! I love laveneder too.
Great perspective following the rows down. The sky is the main feature of this shot ... at first I thought you had desaturated the sky, but see that there is some blue sky peeking through. I think it really draws attention to the color in the fields. Great job.

Hi Balwant,
I like the relaxing effect of this field of lavender!
Excellent perspective and superb composition with the tree on the left side,. The colors are especially well rendered! We can almost smell the perfume!
Very nicely done! Annie

Hello Balwant,a lovely PoV with the converging rows of lavender.
The grey sky accentuates the bright purple of the flowers.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Hello Balwant,

Separately the gloomy sky, one could be almost believed in the South of France.
It is in any case a quite beautiful composition, with or without sun.

Hi, Balwant. Beautiful scene captured with perspective and color of the lavender field. Good POV and color. The lone tree adds to the composition my making a counterpoint to the lines below. Chees anf TFS.

row after rows of lavender leading to the sky,great colour shot.the tree is very well placed.

Hello Balwant
I like the balance here, and the natural looking colours. I guess the horizon is following the slope of a hill – although I find this a little distracting - the slope is nicely mirrored in the sweeping rows of lavender. Great use of the light, it suits the subtle colours. I like the placement of the tree too.
Regards, Leslie
