 I saw this challenge, but I had really no plans to participate. When I went out to take a walk, I saw these flowers and thought about the challenge. There was no set-up or whatsoever, just took a couple of pictures and decided this one was the best and after a day I decided to submit it to the challenge. Don't expect much of it anyway.

By the way, I hate laptop screens. Got one comment that says
the colours are flat and one other comment that says it's overexposed... I think it just depends on the screen :(


Okay, I guess I made a little mistake with the title. I know 'rose' means 'pink', although it could also mean light red. But in Dutch (I come from Holland) those flowers, the poppies, are called 'klaproos', with the word 'roos' meaning 'rose'. So that's why I called it 'La Vie en Rose', maybe I should have looked up the name in English first....

The title bothers me, since La Vie En Rose translates to Life in Pink, and this flower is red. But, then my French isn't the best, so I should probably just shut up, haha.

It's a lovely picture, but to me the flowers look way to over exposed, hardly no details at all in them. 5

it seems to me that if you ran another levels on this it could really improve the colors alot...they seem a bit flat to me
