hi Paul,
I quite like such minimalism. just three colours - green, blue, yellow (or even just two, since you get green by mixing blue and yellow), big sky, very few accents, but the feeling of warmth is very strong. I'd prefer less centered composition, and the tree more to the left, I think that would emphasise even more the wide open space. also, you have what looks like dust on the lens or sensor, easy to clean though.
best,
Kristine

Hallo Paul,
Wat een prachtige foto! Ik vind de zonnebloemen in de voorgrond schitteren en dan hier en daar een boom in de verte. En dit alles tegen die prachtige blauwe lucht! Heerlijke foto! Schitterend werk!
Groetjes,
Ann

Bonjour Paul
Cadrage 1/5 pour ces tournesols.Une composition que je trouve adaptée avec ce ciel et son dégradé.Les arbres sur la ligne d'horizon apportent beaucoup à cette image.
Bonne journée
Amicalement

Hello Paul,
Very simple but very nice. I like the nice harmony between the yellow color and the blue of the sky. I like too the balalnce in the composition with a large part for the sky, orginal and efficience framing.
Congratulations,
Roger

Hello my dear Paul
This is a very bold angle and idea.
You stress the blue and wideness of sky, I suppose.
Great shoot.
Best regards and thanks for sharing

Hi Paul.
The wonderful field off sunflowers are wonderfully compliment by the cloudless cool blue sky.
Love the inclusion of the distant trees that contrast brilliantly with the vivid blue and yellow colors.

Bonjour Paul,
Le cadrage est original, faisant la part belle au ciel. La multitude de "têtes" jaunes est très graphique et contraste juste bien avec le bleu du ciel dans la même tonalité. Les arbres épars complètent bien l'ensemble.
Bien jolie photo, dans notre grisaille belge.
Bon week-end.
Cordialement.
Guy.

I think that this photo is quite underrated, such a perfect detalisation, and colors, and all scenery - look almost 2D, so very intense it is!
Great work!

Dag Paul,
This is fantastic view. You already fixed a golden ratio between sunflower field and sky. The textures created by sunflowers are just georgous with your creative way adding the trees. Congratulations. Have a nice weekend.
Friendly Regards,

Hello Paul,
Beautiful sunflowers in this field under a sky that produces a great contrast.
I think there is too much sky, perhaps a more panoramic picture by cutting some of the top would have been very good. It's just my opinion ...
Best regards,
Charo

Hello Paul
You must have taken this shot on the way to/from Hampi. There are a lot of sunflower fields there as they cultivate them in the otherwise arid area. Like your composition with your low POV & a low horizon with the tree in the centre a fine focal point. Good work!

I realy did not know that they have sunflowers at India. I thought this was one photo from South Europe. Like your choice of extreme low POV.
Best regards

Bonjour Paul
Wider sky for sunflower enriches our feeling very well. It seems it might achieve a quantum improvement in quality when reducing muddiness of sunflowers -- making sunflowers clear yellow. Still definitely a successful shot. The combination of blue and yellow is truly fascinating.
Best wishes, Hisashi

L'arbre au centre, et la proportion bleu-jaune confèrent à cette pdv un graphisme que j'apprecie beaucoup.

Greetings Paul,
I simply adore the sheer simplicity of this image. I love that you offered to much room to the sky, as it gives a sense of vastness. I also appreciate that you did not oversaturate the image, but instead left it natural and true.
I agree with Kristine that a more off-center tree would have been preferable. And I see a couple of smudges on the image as well, which may be the dust to which she refers.
Excellent DOF and nice POV as to the height at which you chose your shot.
Best Regards,
Rachel
