I know this is too close to the edge, but I can't crop further out or you would see me. It also explains the slightly crooked horizon.
this was taken using a radio trigger to fire the camera while I stood in the field & threw the umbrella in the air & tried to duck down behind the wheat.
People watching me probably thought I was totally bonkers :)
Unfortunately the iso was at 400. I didn't notice till too late
Here is what I wanted to create.

6.4, good work Peter. The colours do seem faded here. When you showed me this shot on your LCD it seemed to be brighter. Faded colours in a "burst of colour" challenge can hurt. THat being said, very well done :)
I'd like to see the horizon line straight across, and it would be cool to see the foreground a little more in focus, but other than that this image is fantastic! Great idea. great use of color, and I can deal with the foreground out of focus with the depth of field honed in on the umbrella.
Great idea, and nice simple composition. It certainly meets the challenge perfectly. I am a little bothered by the tilted horizon. It may be a hill, but in this crop that's not evident, and it just looks crooked.
