Another Yellow Field

Although it was raining outside, I was determined to play with my wide angle lens which I don't use nearly enough. So before going to watch a movie, my husband drove me around to take some pictures so I could practice using my lens (which I find challenging). I think I probably looked pretty strange out in the pouring rain with my camera sticking out of a ziplock bag.

* I know uneven horizon lines are a no-no, but it was a bit of a hill and the fence looked strange when I tried to straighten it.

I just love this Lauren I like the yellow & the slope of the hill & the fence leading into the shot starting with the wire. The sky looks rainy & stormy - awesome
PS like the exposure

[Bob Hettinger]

I completely agree with Simon! The perspective of the fence with the angle, along with the sky make this perfect! Amazing work!

[Lauren]

hi Simon :) thanks for that! wasn't sure about the exposure, but glad it turned out okay (with some editing for the sky, lol)

[Lauren]

[Lauren]

@kammy thanks Kammy!

[Paul Myers]

I like it. The horizon doesn't look strange at all and the fence looks like it should be. Great shot.

[Lauren]

@webfoot thanks so much Paul!

The yellow field is beautiful and the rain cloud makes the picture even nicer.

perfect composition

[Naomi]

Awesome mood :]

[Camille Bisson]

this is so beautiful. the wide angle gives it such a wonderful aura.

[Matt Clendon]

I like it and I didn't know that uneven horizon lines are a no-no. I say yes to uneven horizon lines if this shot is anything to go by. It wouldn't be the same if the field was perfectly straight. Is that a path in the field beyond the leaning fence?

[Cheryllee]

Gorgeous scene!

[Netkonnexion]

Nice lines and great sense of being in that field of yellow flowers.

[FaerieMoon]

I like the way this turned out--and I think the uneven horizon adds interest to the photo

[Michelle]

I really love this. I think the angle is perfect and i love the contrast of the colours.
