Mary's Photoblog
Staffordshire Countryside.
Posted by MaryB (Staffordshire, United Kingdom) on 14 May 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
This was taken on Saturday, it was a glorious day weather wise, so we just had to go out for a ride in the local countryside.
There is not enough sky really, but what the heck, that yellow field was georgous :)
Sorry I was so late in commenting yesterday, I had a very busy day and then went off to college (on my digital photography course) got in late, hence the late visits.

Excellent contrast between the fields of red and yellow, I think more of the field like you've got here is better than more sky!

Beautiful countryside, MaryB ... I'm with you, with beautiful yellow fields calling out to be photographed, the sky can wait for another day ... a shot of that lone tree amongst all that yellow would make a nice pic!

What a "pop" in color as the image loaded! That's a lot of dandelions! The tree in the foreground seems to be dwarfed by its surroundings. Nice capture!

Well spotted, what a wonderful shot, the colours and contrast. More sky would have spoiled it, I think.

I love country side landscape picture and this one is a very strong one with the yellow field of rapeseed, the freshly seeded brown earth against the green background of trees.
