Hi David,
Wonderful field of lupin flowers, and strong contrast between the purple and green colour toning.
The person does not add much to the whole scene, but nevertheless a very pleasant picture to look at.
Well done...very nice..!!!
Regards, Henk

Hi David,

Beautiful composition, the contrast of different plants is well captured.

I agree about the person, can be clone out, but the rest is well presented.

Regards,

Iris

Hi David,
You've captured the beauty of the lupine in your well-framed compo. The blowing grass and the man in the background looking at the orchard? add interesting detail but allow the lupine to remain the star.

Hi David,
I like this interesting and not so common combination of blue and green. You have composed the picture well, to enhance beauty of the flowers.

Thanks,
Marek

Hi David. Fields of wild flowers; something that has vanished in many parts of the world. Nice composition with the use of diagonals. lovely close up of the key element- the purple flowers.There is a nice softness that permeates the whole composition,thanks to the PoV and the exposure. Well done. Regards Klaudio

I jost LOVE the person. Without it, in my opinion, the frame would loose a lot. Congrats.

Hi David,
A well composed shot of these wild lupin. There is quite a painterly effect here, with the lighter grasses blowing in the wind. The POV is well chosen, and the person walking really enhances by providing both warmth and a sense of proportion and distance. There is just enough sky to give balance. Well conceived and presented.

wow!!! If I am not mistaken, these are the blue bonnets, or at least what we call them here. This is the official flower of the state of Texas!!!!
very beautiful shot... the composition is superb, but I can also admire the well saturated colors.
nice shot David

Hi David
Nice capture here, as you have emphasized the colour of the Lupins very well against the blades of grass. The colour is striking and immediate with great impact. The inclusion of the row of trees and a nicely textured sky is a good addition. Well seen

Serwus David !
Incredibly nice composition. Blue of the flowers really stands out against different shades of green. Nice idea of inclusion the passing man in the frame. Splendid Work in stunning quality. A pleasure for eyes.
Thank You, my friend,
Mat

Hi David
When I think about Israel (I've never been there) it's deserts, brown landscapes, some agriculture. This wonderful picture could be a rainy place like Ireland. TrekEarth is also very good to discover the unexpected world.

Hi, David. The colours of these blue flowers are really splendid. They stand out very well in the green grass. The group of floweres also cuts your pic into two parts, their border making a splendid diagonal line. a very beautiful nature shot. Very good exposure and composition.

Hi David,
Beautiful lupines which are very common in Maine where they come in pink as well as blue. Striking blend of colors in this spring landscape.
