fabulous photo - great from the exposure through the editing. Thanks for posting the original - I think it's really valuable for many of us. I hope to someday have processing skills at your level.

But, Lesley, this isn't even a portrait LOL! This could not have been easy to capture and retain details in the highlight areas, did you bracket like crazy? Anyway, absolutely beautiful.

wide angle, plus gradient filter for clouds....
dodge & burn, think i may have half draganed it :)
01/16/2006 01:18:08 AM

Amazing image... I would be interested in knowing how you got the exposure so pefect in an image with such widely varying levels.

Simply beautiful!

Great landscape, although the foreground is just a little intrusiveon that horizon and the burning has gone too far in places. I feel that this won't be strong enough to do well in Burst of Color though. Love the sky detail.

01/15/2006 07:12:33 PM
I love the contrast.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/15/2006 02:05:38 PM
That is just jaw dropping gorgeous.

Wonderful photo, floweres do a good job bring out the colors in the forground.

Great (wide-angle?) shot. The clouds are full and the flowers add a nice contrast. Nice, nice shot. Make a great poster.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/15/2006 12:12:23 AM
A lovely scene that will outlast any challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very impressive editing! I'd be interested in seeing the original, and what steps you took to get the effect here. I'm guessing the original wasn't nearly as interesting as the end result.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Inspiring landscape you've captured here. I love the deep DOF and detail throughout. Curious to see your lens and camera settings at the end of this challenge. The high contrasts and interplay of lighting and shadows really give this an almost storybook feel. IMHO the shot looks slightly tilted CCW. Not sure if this is just a result of using a wide angle lens? Also not sure if that vignetting around the edges and corners is intentional, but it works well for me regardless. Just my opinion, nice shot nonetheless.... 8

beautiful - 9.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/12/2006 03:41:19 PM
can't decide how i want to desifer (spelling???) this...i can see the flowers as a burst, the grass as a burst, the clouds as a burst, or the blue way in the back as a burst....but I like the clouds the best, so that is my burst of color that I see in your photo! Nice angle!!! 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/12/2006 02:50:33 PM
That is so cool.
It looks like it could be on another world.
Are you able to produce that effect in the camera or do you do it after.
Very nice.

Strong landscape image, and the delicate daisies are a burst of color.....
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/11/2006 11:08:29 PM
definatly my favorite one out of them all...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/11/2006 09:27:15 PM
Looks like a good job dodging and burning. I also like the vignetting in the corners. Nice job.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/10/2006 11:32:30 PM
This one is very nice. Good job with dodging and burning. This one made me sit up in my chair. I wish the hills were a little more green and a little less yellow, but this one is very good.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/10/2006 05:04:48 PM
Very pleasing. I'm looking forward to seeing the lens and settings used for this shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/10/2006 12:55:39 AM
What an exquisite shot. I've sat here, however, for at least 60 seconds pondering the impact of the colors. I can't say there is a ton. This would still be almost as good in B&W, and that doesn't bode well. I'm gonna have to drop it to a 6. :( Just know that a) I think it's a great shot and b) I put a deal of thought into it. The voter has spoken.
01/09/2006 10:27:29 PM
Amazing lighting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/09/2006 08:39:32 PM
This is a beautiful shot. Will have to add to my faves. But I don't really see a "burst" of color that stands out from the rest of the photo for the challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/09/2006 01:24:44 PM
Unusual colors. Is it real or is it over-Photoshopped?
01/09/2006 11:05:49 AM
A gorgeous photo! Love the saturation and the sky! The whole thing is just wondeful! A lot of the colors though are neutral, and don't really pop, but this is going in as one of my favs nonetheless! I would definately hang this on my wall.

EDITED TO ADD: I am going to guess this was done by goodman? I will find out after challenge.

Beutiful shoet, maybe for another challenge though
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/09/2006 09:58:50 AM
Very dramatic landscape, but I can't say that any one object jumps out at me because of a burst of color. It's all very subdued.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/09/2006 09:55:07 AM
Very pretty, and a top ten in any other challenge for sure...I hope the literal-minded voters don't vote you down for the colors being rather subtle and subdued. Gorgeous! :)

Very lush. This reminds me of an e301 landscape (it's a good thing). Subtle colors but very detailed even at such small dimensions. 10

This has delicious tonality. I wonder if it has the draganizer filter. Hmmm - well the perspective and panoramic view is great!
