Well lookee here. A 6.58. I had really hoped to see this one score well. Great colors, great perspective. The horizon tilt gives it a feel of being in the hills. Just a beautiful shot Deb. Glad to see it in your top rated. It's a beauty!

Yaaay Deb, great photo, great result and not even a train station in sight!!!

I think the fields of yellow stuff that you mention are crops of rapeseed oil, which for the last ten years or so have been appearing everywhere (can be used for producing vegetable oil for people and biodiesel amongst other things but is a real killer if you get too near it and you suffer from hayfever)

Anyway enough of the natural biology lesson, congrats again for a beautiful image

Way to go Deb. Terrific photo, and well appreciated by the voting public. I love the colors. This truly is a shot of Spring (real enough to make me sneeze) -- the cheeriest thing I've seen in ages. And in portrait orientation no less.

Deb this is so beautiful *sigh* it makes me wish we had spring here. Well officially we do but it's only about 10 minutes long and looks just like summer to me. So thank you for bringing the spring.
