[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Here is another picture from the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve.

About an hour and a half outside of Los Angeles there is a wonderful photographic location that should not be missed during the month of April - The California State Poppy Reserve. The fields are just west of the city of Lancaster in the high desert called "The Antelope Valley". The reserve is approximately 1800 acres.

great scenery shot. I would just increase the contrast a bit.
your point of view and framing is excellent. The exposure and the colors are well as well.
cheers,

wonderful landscape!
there's an explosion of colors!
thanks, ciao

Hi Elizabeth. I like your decision to shoot this vertically because it gives an impressive DOF. The inclusion of the people brings this place to life and adds the always important scale to the landscape. The varied colors are fantastic as well. A beautiful shot with an informative note. Well done Elizabeth!

Hi,
Fantastic shot !!! The colours are amazing. My favourite flowers. I think the two guys in the picture distract a bit the landscape.
Anyway, well done. Thanks for sharing.

Elizabeth, this is my favourite of your photos. I love the depth of field and that helps transform me from a dreary grey English day in the office to a sunny poppy field in CA. Well done! Garry
