Project 52: Week 18 - Yellow

In the space of a week the countryside around us has been enlivened by splashes of bright yellow in the patchwork of brown and green as the oil-seed rape has burst into flower. This scene attracted me because of the hints of yellow in the trees at the field border as if they responded in empathy to the blaze of colour in front of them.

Quite a contrast to the bare, wintry trees in mono that have become one of your Ocoloy hallmarks.

[Graeme Stevens]

This is horrifically pretty.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Stunning - love the way you picked to compose the shot - that sky against the yellows - gorgeous. Fav

[Louis A. Sousa]

Great image. I am jealous of the color!

[Margo Sayer]

Great picture encapsulating our neck of the woods in Spring. Sky not yet quite on message?

[Tim L]

I agree with you about the hints of yellow in the trees. It is as if the photo has three layers, with the main detail and interest in the middle.

[Andy]

This is superb!

[Merrelyn]

Beautiful colours and a lovely hint of yellow in the trees too :)

[Ivan]

Nice colours here.

[Catherine P]

Beautiful yellow

[Helen K]

Very nice composition and very much like the contrasts of blue and yellow

[Rosan]

What a beautiful burst of color that is mimicked by the trees and so nicely contrasted against the dark blue dramatic sky and clouds.

[Helene]

There are many landscapes like that at my countryside in Picardy. April may be my favorite month of the year. Gorgeous picture. Fav

[Claes]

Really like how the yellow changes through the green middle ground to the blue sky - I could use this in Art class teaching the value of chromatology :-)

[Barbara Webb]

Beautiful scene!

[Danny G.]

A stunning composition and the layers of color and texture are wonderful. FAV

[Corinne]

Splendid, fav !

[Annie D]

another memory for me Richard

[Jo]

This is lovely and very pleasing to my eye, as you said, nature has got the balance just right by adding the foreground colour into the trees
