sweet breath of summer

Excellent. slow shutter speed has worked wonders here.

The field do look breathing ............. Beautiful work as always

Very very beautiful. The motion on the grass is very interesting and colours are fine. Congrats.

Great pictural work...a visual pleasure.

All the best, Anne & Runar :-)

Brilliant image, Floriana...

nice

Floriana, When i look at this picture i can almost feel the wind, makes me want to run into the field and disappear into pure happiness. I love your work in general, and this is no exeption.  thanks for sharing.

Fantastic shot. 

great !

Perfect one:)! Regards, Costin

Thank you very much for all comments and rating .

Excellent image, brava Floriana! max

Excellent image that send a powerful mood with this scene,I look for a while and my question is that you used for this two shot because the upper half seems to be very clear and somehow only hte bottom is with this moovement,all my best and compliments for this.

both in its creativity and execusion of the long exposure, this image has all the hall marks of an outstanding piece. my compliments Floriana

Not sure how you accomplished this, the movement in the lower half looks like you hit the shutter while a single swirl of wind was blowing through. I like this very much and hope you will share how this was done. As always I find your work inspiring and thank you for sharing.

Warm regards, Pamela

1) Camera on tripod, sunset and strong wind, polarizer filter

2) one shot with long exposure for wheat and poppies

3) one shot with short exposure for sky 

Simply stunning. And magical.

Interesting light and a wonderful shot!

Truly marvelous--who needs video? The imagined movement is more effective than the actual might have been.

This photo is awesome in so many ways!!  My only critique is that tilted horizon somewhat detracts from an otherwise perfect photo IMHO.  GREAT shot!

I seem to be discovering great images a little late in the day. As such, I can't really add anything to what has already been said.

Simply fantastic!

You have a wonderful gift; shooting what might for others be trite subjects with amazing originality.  See this and your previous sunflower post for excellent examples for my point.

(I am putting this in parentheses because it is only a wondering:  Adobe Photoshop CS5 now has content aware fill for its cloning, and you have a large jet contrail to the upper right that is the only real straight line and which seems to detract.  I am somewhat against excessive image editing and an artist decision is just that; if you intended to keep it there for artistic reasons, fine and no problem, but if you download the trial version of Adobe Photoshop CS5 if you don't have the money, it may be possible to take out that contrail with minimal effort and have 'content aware fill' restore the remainder with just the most minimal effort -- again just an attempt to help 'improve' if that is even possible -- perhaps it's just not possible to improve the greatly beautiful.)

Kudos for consistently posting some of the most beautiful (and originally beautiful ) work on Photo.net
