Beautiful spring day on Mt. Diablo in the East Bay. Not as big a poppy year this year as it was last year, but this field was glorious.
Tried some Adamus sharpening on this one. Interesting to see what the comments will be. The more I view this image, the more I like it. That is usually the kiss of death for me at DPC.
Lovely! Makes me want to sing "The hills are alive with the Sound of Music!". Great DOF, and tonal range. Love the rock in the foreground, giving the eye an anchor, yet drawing it to the valley and clouds behind it.
Truly a lovely scene - poppies, green field, and an awesome sky on top of it all. Great job with the composition and exposure, and congrats on a good score and placing in a FS. I think the sharpening worked fine (not overdone) and I really like the use of the wide white border for this shot. Nice work!
Very different and unigue - a solid image that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way. From an artistic standpoint, it has significant impact being richly colored with excellant detail. This image would have worked as a black and white as well. A perfect demonstration of the power of properly controlled light and focus. Well done.
