Hi Niek,
Incredibly beautiful!
Perfect definition of natural colors. This is sharp and fluid in the same time. These wild flowers are common in my area too, but you have learned to me the name of one of them : Indian Paintbrush.
The composition reveals with a great sense of space the vastness of this place. This must be exhilarating to be there!
My compliments! Annie

Hello Niek,

I like your low pov which captures the intense concentration of wild flowers and creates a spectacular f/g of colour and texture. It's a very pleasant journey across them to reach the contrasting ruggedness of the distant mountains.
The tree on the right makes a good focal point which shows up well against the clear sky.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

hyi niek.
nice view of these flowers. it is a pity that there is a large patch of dirt on the right hand corner. maybe a few steps forward would have helped?

Hi Niek
This is a very well exposed photo, i really loved to see the equally balanced details the b/g, m/g and f/g works very fine.
IMO the empty space in the f/g (kinda hole) is a bit awkward, my eyes just fell in this hole actually (hehehe) may be u've searched a place where u could give a sequential look as at lower-mid of the frame :)

TFS
Cheers

Bij dit soort uitzichten weet ik nooit wat ik nou precies moet: meer van de voorgrond, minder lucht of andersom.
Ik vraag me dan altijd af: wat wil je laten zien?
Ik denk, dat ik in dit geval een vierkante uitsnede zou maken, waarbij de kale plek in de voorgrond verdwijnt. Hiermee krijg je meer nadruk op het veld met bloemen met het prachtige uitzicht op de achtergrond.
De kale plek trekt nogal wat aandacht en dat is nou net wat ik NIET wil zien.
Een kwestie van persoonlijke smaak hoor en het doet absoluut niet af aan een hele mooie, rustige foto... echt een plekje om een uurtje te zitten mijmeren... toch?
Over kleuren, scherpte en zo heb ik het niet meer bij jou, dat zit altijd wel goed.

Groetjes,
Anneke

Hi Niek,

I really like this shot... even more than the one on TN. It is a bit more saturated and I like the proportions a bit better. It just seems to have more "impact"????

We leave in the morning.

Hi Niek
Good composition usuing the rule of third.
Great foreground details and colors in addition to right choose of focus point and a sufficient DOF.
The sky seems natural in color and light, but by applying some type of PP work, you reach better result.
Thank you and Regards,
Alireza
