Birds on a Wire

Yay! We had some sun! About 30 minutes of it after work - long enough to manage some shots of something not grey :-)The dark clouds and the rapeseed fields were illuminated by the evening sun. That's more like it!

Thank you all for the lovely comments on the bird attack! Glad it amused some of you :-)
I love the way the yellow flowers rae blurred out here. Nice capture.

@swamppoodle @judithg @petra Thank you! @judithg No, I just stood close to the flowers but focused on the wires :-)
May 3rd, 2012  
That's an incredible viewpoint! Love those yellow fields....
May 3rd, 2012  
@judithg Was wondering the same thing. Great shot but I can't quite figure it out!

@filsie65 Thanks Phil! I could've just inhaled the colour!! I think I've been feeling seriously starved of colour other than wet grey ;-)

@fueast Lol, I like to keep you guessing ;-)

@judithg Thank you :-) I love playing with the focus point while looking through the viewfinder - pays off sometimes!

What really catches me here is that the focus confuses me so much! reminds me of tilt-shift
May 3rd, 2012  
@woot You're right it seems a bit like tilt shift. I was so excited when I spotted the effect in the viewfinder!
May 3rd, 2012  
the pylon inside of the out of focus flowers is WOW! can I fav it again?
May 3rd, 2012  
@woot :-D Please do - oh no, wait! If you press that button again, you will de-fave it...

Thanks so much for all your comments and faves! You guys are just wonderful. I really appreciate all the feedback.

Other than increasing the contrast and the tones a littlevthis hasn't been post processed. I just focused on the background rather than the foreground (I was literally standing in the field of rapeseed plants) from a low angle!
May 4th, 2012  
great shot - though the unsual focus is doing odd things to either my eyes or brain - can't work out which!
May 4th, 2012
