Finally you have got your blue sky - and I sit with the rain... Very nice summer mood, Milena - enjoy.... Regards, El

Very good contrasty image with vibrant colors.

Great game of colours. Perfect composition. Cheers

Thank you, El, Hussein and Jose, for your nice words about this summer picture. El, the weather is changeable, so it goes ... The sun is fain but too strong at this time, one must wait for almost the evening to take some pictures. This one was taken at about eight in the evening. Thank to all and best regards

where the skyis blue, the field is green and yellow, and the wild flowers are red... the serenity lies there. beautiful. regards.

Lovely!

Thank you, Chan and Lester, for your nice words about the picture. Best regards

Thank you, Kevin, I appreciate you like it. Best regards

Thank you, Marjorie, for nice words about the picture. Best regards

It is a nice image, but, you don't need so mach sky. Specially, when that upper part of the sky empty, anyway. You have a wide field of view, and it is beautiful, and you has to finish the composition with a little bit of sky only. Don't be afraid to crop half of the sky, ( or a little bit more) and you going to have a better balanced and composed image.

Thank you, Bela, I think you have hit the mark - the problem of the sky in my landscapes is exactly what I am now solving - I have a tendency to include too much of its everywhere. There are even pictures where it is useful to exclude it entirely. I must only get used to it ... and think about it. Thanks a lot, your advice is very helpful. Best regards

I played again with this image of yours, cropped the sky completely, and I had a surprise. The image is changed dramatically. It has an entirely different effect on the foreground and the whole field. Mach more highlighted and better, for me.

Thank you, Bela, for your interest in my photos. For me it was a real benefit that you turned my attention to the sky and possibilities to work more creatively with it. I have already tested the new approach - I will post soon. I like vertical compositions and playing with reducing or even eliminating of the sky brings really dramatic impact on them. The foreground is much more emphasized and gets an intimate feeling. Thanks again and best regards
