Like the colors, but looks a little over-sharpened fo my taste.

Those branches look like a double- or triple-link chain -- very cool-looking!

Nice "transparency" shot...looks like a tricky exposure.

A California Pasture

Somewhat similar to my photo but with those cool cows. I'm getting killed for my border, and I'm guessing you've got a couple who like it and several who don't. Looks like the focus is sharper on the grain than the poppies, but that could be intentional...

I'm no longer going to use any red/orange/yellow/green borders except as 1-2 pixel accents, and will just frame stuff like this with a really dark color or black.

A brighter color than the variety I'm familiar with, but it looks like a mighty inviting locale anyway...

It's so hard to get them to hold still if there's any breeze at all...very nice job with the focus and exposure on the poppies (better than mine). I think I like the deep DOF on this image (grain, hill and clouds in reasonable focus) but it would be interesting to see a version with those highly blurred also...

OK! I won't pick it! Did you use a polarizer or other filter on this?

Looks "painterly" already, but would love to experiment running this through a canvas filter or something anyway. Excellent abstract with elements of Escher!
