nice image, the flowers could have been a little more focused. but i have been here and it is usually very windy so its understandable

I like this. The bright orange and crisp green is a perfect entry for this challenge. The depth of field is soft and pleasent. The flowers are nicely spaced. 9

Neat picture but the orange seems oversaturated.

Nice, but would have been better with less sky (IMO)

The colours of the poppies are great. The bald hill in the background doesn't seem to add anything to the image, nor does the blank white sky. A higher vantage point could allow you to capture more detail in the poppies and less of the hill and sky.

How pretty ! I think I would have chopped off the two up close flowers on the right though..they pull your eyes there..but for no reason..

Great shot though.

The poppy;s are great and it tells a story to me. You could have done without the two on the immediate right.

I love these poppies and we have many here in Oregon. Too bad you didn't have a day with blue skies. Maybe crop a bit tighter on the right and bottom. Good orange.

Nice perspective.

Almost perfect... 1: the stems in front of the shot look as if you cut the flowers. 2: the two poppys on the right handside is too close making the picture seem unbalanced. 3: the horizon is slanted, IMO, a different angle would have made this shot more effective. 4: very minor, being the blue sky on the left is oversaturated. But a very good choice of subject nevertheless. Very appealing. Good luck :) 7

I wish the sky wasn't blown out so much... Otherwise a nice photo.

Really a pretty, colorful picture. I think it might be even nicer if the flowers were more in focus instead of the background. The hill is in better focus than the flowers and detracts from them.

Beautiful photograph!!! I enjoy the colors and lighting, very nicely done! Good eye for the shot. There is one thing however that I feel could have made this image a LOT stronger. There are two flowers on the right that draw my focus away from this gorgeous shot, I think it would be a solid shot if you cropped those out. Other than, simply beautiful!

very pretty field. I wish the sky was not as cyan/white... but still a nice image to view.

image is slightly out of focus, but nice. Interesting to see mountain so grey and not colorfull at all,but flowers so bright and full of life.

the mountains are boring. the flowers, and overall composition are very very nice though. THe naked mountians...cut them out and paste i some naked breasts and this goes from a 4 or 5 to a 9 or 10

Very nice perspective for this image. Lovely golden-orange colors, meeting the challenge very well. I wish you'd used a polarizer to take the haze out of the sky - the white in the upper part of the image detracts. However, for the most part I like this image - very pretty and it captures a feeling of freshness and springtime.

I thought this was one of the better orange flower photos.

Lovely colors.

Ah, if the sky was blue this would be the greatest photo of this challenge

Wish there was more of a blue sky.

Wow this is gorgeous, wonderful colors, I like the ground level angle, really gives the appearance of the dof. Great 10
