Nothing But Flowers, a photo from Fyn, East

Photographer's Note

I spotted this red poppy field and took some shots – It used to be a cornfield but now the flowers taken over. Heres a view of the whole field.

My first title was "Natures flag", but thanks Torben for the new one :-)

Good one Jeppe! Great colors and an interesting way to split the frame. Too bad the sky is more than one tone. A stronger blue would have done a better job. But what can you do about it. Simple and abstract. Great original composition.

The way the "texture" becomes smaller in scale in each field is a nice touch that adds some extra life to this amusing and good-humoured photo.
Normally I wouldn't like the slightly too sharpned horizonline, but here it actually helps to flatten the perspective making the image more 2D and flag-like.

Suggestion for song-title: Nothing But Flowers (by Talking Heads)

Simple shot, and yet very effective and graphical. You've seen well and came out with an astonishing result.

No! Don't change the title - "Nature's flag" is a brilliaint title - it makes us look at this composition in a new way. I love it!

looking like some country flag, well done Jeppe

Wonderful composition Jeppe and nice colors, very well balanced, very nice contrast, well seen.

You guess I can only like this graphism, Jeppe ;-)
Good that the three parts have the same size.
Real good work, congratulations !

Jeppe, tu n'est plus un photographe mais un peintre ! Un couturier... Différentes détails pour chaque couleur
Super travail que tu nous montres là. Le titre nature's flag me semble plus humoristique.

Hi Jeppe, looks like a flag, I do like your original version, too. Very graphic shot, it's a good one!

RGatward (20086) 2004-06-25 18:45

This is remarkable in the way your have three almost equal horizontal patches of colour. I t looks like a flag, that I think doesn;t exist. Very nice work.

RobBrown (1797) 2004-06-25 19:07

Good exercise in thirds Jeppe, good well saturated picture.

avigur_11 (22535) 2004-06-25 20:06

It looks like you did it again, Jeppe. Wonderful colors. The three strips of colors create something that looks like a flag of 3rd world country. A very goo shot.

Kenny10pin (19301) 2004-06-25 20:28

Very nice picture Jeppe, I like the contrasting colours here and the nature of it, very nice a peaceful

well done

elihesamian (26149) 2004-06-25 23:16

An exeptional shot,Well done for your eyes,Jeppe!
Nice & powerful playing with natural colors you did.
I like the density of red texture with ,then I see green with another density in its texture & then ,top of colors here is blue of the sky,with some clouds.
Three part with three texture,RGB!!!
You did great,Jeppe!

cgrindahl (6113) 2004-06-26 0:20

Great capture Jeppe with nicely saturated colors. It looks very graphical with the bold parallel lines. Well done.

Zanni (6108) 2004-06-26 1:12

Ok Jeppe. I have controlled all national flags and there aren't with these three orizzontal colours so you can register the copyright. The red represents the blood of old patriots who fought for freedom; the green represents the hope of the young Nations for a bright future and the blue the freedom of people. The new Country could be named JEPPELAND in your honour!

Beutiful stripes of colours Jeppe! You captured it in a great way, very impressive and nice. The WS is beautiful too. Very well done!

elroyie (2750) 2004-06-26 4:56

Great three layers of colours, very good composition and picture.
I think that if you had something (even little) vertical it would be interesting.

Sorrie that I miss this one Jeppe,
Realy great fields and lines, good colours very good job here

Rockyboy (20598) 2004-06-26 5:05

It seems a flag but i don't know which country... Very simple composition but very nice and well exposed! Bravo!

jhonny_blue (4956) 2004-06-26 5:36

It´s like a beautiful homage to Portugal Team in Euro 2004 ! Beautiful green and reds !
Good luck to Denmark !

This is just beautiful Jeppe, a very simple yet effective composition. I have nothing new to add, just wanted to let you know it's great :o)

nwoehnl (122) 2004-06-26 6:30

Very good, Jeppe, I also initially thought of a flag, due to the well-proportioned thirds of very well-saturated and bright colors. A simple but very delightful photo, great work.

Added to the song title theme (I've opened up a new one as all of the one Guy created are full).

cdewet (0) 2004-06-26 6:43

Jeppe
My 1st thought was also a flag! This is very nice!

pridel (233) 2004-06-26 7:34

Superbe ! tout a déjà été dit. la composition réussie, la vitalité des couleurs. bravo

TrippleDB (97) 2004-06-26 12:21

Blue, green, red... Geography isn't my best subject, so I have no idea from which country the flag could be. But I'm courious. :D Nice shot. The colours are great!

jhm (204077) 2004-06-26 13:05

Red, Green and blue are wonderful composition Jeppe and nice colors, very well balanced, very nice contrast, well seen.

Hanssie (11022) 2004-06-26 15:55

Three colours, nothing else.....
"The whole field" is beautiful and you've chosen a very nice angle for "Nothing but flowers", to make this field abstract, good work, Jeppe !

cmartos (242) 2004-06-26 16:01

Very, very nice flag Jeppe! You have a good eye spoting this in that way. Excellent work, Though, I like your original too!. Well done!

kikvel (4784) 2004-06-26 17:57

When I saw the thumbnail I thought it was a flag! Very nice composition, simple but it surely works, congratulations.

DonQ (2625) 2004-06-27 4:26

I like even more WS version, (original) becouse more space, real landscape that I prefer. Here I see very nice nature colours lines, like as some stateflag. Good idea, that`s really fancifully. I give you one :-) but also for a WS one :-)).
Regards, Don.

dominique (11414) 2004-07-01 6:42

Avec un bleu tres vif pour le ciel , la photo aurait ete puissante mais les couleurs sont tres belles quand même et la composition originale , bien vu .

Vagabond (5848) 2004-07-06 9:36
