This isn't really a "Lavender in a corn field",it's just an anthea on a red poppy which I eventually turned yellow and smooth with Auto Levels, Selective Colour, Neat Image and Saturation.
Done in Autralian time.

Focus is OK, could be a bit sharper. Depth of field does isolate the subject, but is so shallow that the subject is getting soft arouind the top edge. The object to the left appears to be approaching sharpness in the center of the stalk, which is a bit distracting.
The rest of the image looks great. Nice blur for the background. Maybe a little more light further down on the subject would help a bit. But still a very interesting and pleasing photo.
I really like the play of the colors and contrasts.
I loved this shot Kita! It captures the essence of the challenge very well and the soft colors are just beautiful. This was one of my 10's for the challenge. Simply stunning! :)
Just not sharp enough on the main subject for me to score real high. The colors are very brilliant, yet very soothing at the same time. I really like that about the image.
