Sunflower Field Photo

Photographer’s Note

Looks like the sunflowers are fighting for their place in the photo.
Many sunfields in Thailand and many many people go there to take photos. They have tractors and even elephants to take you through the fields for an aerial view.

really nice ....what a feeling to be sorrounded by a sea of sunflowers, flowers of thwe sun...nice composition (though perhaps is might look better (to me) if the upper part were cut out to get rid of the other people)
best regards

I am agree with Starbug, John: if you cut the upper part the composition will be strongest. The woman s in the right position (third rule: it works well here).

Lovely pictures fo this woman in a sunflowers sea. You could have enhanced this feeling thereby cropping the top (as suggested).
Nice idea though!

Thanks, Alain

trully colorful and sharp details ,my only suggestion is either crop a bit more to focus on the woman or a little bit more horizon, as it seems there still lots to see in the background, as is though still terrific photo.

john,
the idea is original and works for me,but might be better if u had cropped out the upper part .

Excellent shot John! Well composed, and you got good depth of field. The pink clothing contrasts nicely with the yellow flowers. Agree with others that cropping the top to remove the people would make a stronger composition. Thanks for sharing!

Hello John, I love the repetition of all these flowers, they create a wonderful pattern. The face is well positioned (by thirds) and she breaks up the pattern perfectly.

Well done John...
must be good filing to be in, between the sunflowers...
regards,

Good, fine composed photo.
I would expect that this photo will recieved much more attention.
I think that it will look better with bit more vivid colours. I put a little workshop to show you what I'm talking about.
