Lanes of Lavender

Gorgeous smelling lavender blooming in summer.

love the symmetry & contrast of the purple with the shades of green...perfect for St.Patrick's Day! :)

This is a perfect picture for St Patricks Day :) ~ i love the spring look to this and the almost perfect flower/bushes on all sides! EVEn the clouds are almost equal. Only thing missing is a tree on the left like you made this a mirror image. ~ micki

A gorgeous smelling image too,Lynne.

What a wonderful treat to the eyes! My eyes follow the lines right through the gateway. This is GREAT!

 

Thanks for such a wonderful comment regarding my work!!!!!!!!!!

Nicely executed. You've caught some lovely rich colours here.

One editing option you might consider is to crop lower to the horizon, just above the trees to the right. This will remove a lot of the brightness of the sky and bring the colours out even further. It would also emphasise the grandeur of the scene by making it seem wider.

Well done !

Yes Michael, I agree - cropping of the sky makes a big difference to the photo. I looked back at my photo of Rows of Tulips and that only had a small amount of sky. I have cropped the sky as you suggested and it is much more effective - emphasis on width and the lovely lush colours. Thanks very much for your interest and assistance. Lynne

Beautiful work, Lynne! Best regards, Ruud.

Very good composition, light and colors! Best regards, Catalin

I like this version a lot! The colors complement the composition just perfectly. The escape-point is inside of the gate and at the same time there are two more, on the both sides of the hills. I a way, this leads my view into the alley of the bushes and through the gate. Then it let`s the imagination run wild and rush over the hills and far away. :-) I like that feeling in this photo!

 

With warm greetings,

Alpo

Many thanks to you all for the time you have taken to make comments and to rate my photo. Best regards, Lynne

You have a good eye but many of your images are flat, this because you are shooting at mid-day. Try early morning and early evening when light rays are longer. You'll see a world of difference.

Thank you for your helpful comments Michael. Will try that out. You are right - I do shoot a lot of my photos around midday. Cheers, Lynne
