upon purple roads, abreast Persian red papavers - this is the way to travel

I enjoyed your photo, but I have to admit that I enjoyed reading the voters' comments even more! Oh what a joy.

Without the street this would have been a hodgepodge, with it it's a beauty. I was one of your high scores. Kudos!

Shapes of color. That street makes this for me. Wonderful work.

I think cropping off the top street would have done a lot for this photo.

I can't tell if anything is in focus, but it doesn't seem like it to me. Also, I don't understand why you included the road and across the street in shadow at the top. The white dashes painted on the road are the most dominant feature in the photo to my eye.

The road gives a great contrast to the broad meadow scene, I like how the white flowers take a while to emerge.

I would have sooooo bumped you up if you didn't have that distracting road in this...after this challenge you should make this into a "painterly" type picture...it's perfect for that...love the colors and love the field...NOT the road

Wonderful square crop composition. A sea of color.

Reminds me of the poppy fields in The Wizard of Oz ;-) Personally, I'd crop out the road and just keep the field of flowers.

What a wonderful field! Though I'd like the shot more with the top road cropped out. It would've been a wonderful impressionist landscape shot.

Nice picture. I think it would do better if the road and some of the darker areas at the top were cropped out.

Whoah, there's a lot going on in here and I feel like there's no definite area of focus.

One of the perennial miracles. It bothers me that it's not straighten and I would have cut the entire dark area above the violet road. 8

Wow, that's a lot of poppies!!! Would love to see this myself.

Back to comment... This would be a much stronger image if you had cropped out the highway and trees. Regardless, I still gave you an 8 for finding such a gorgeous field of flowers!
