This wildflower field is next to Polly's Pancake House; a must stop for breakfast if you are ever in Sugar Hill, NH. This was taken in June on our trip to Acadia NP,ME and the White Mountains of NH.

Thanks for taking a look and leaving a comment or suggestion.

My suggestion is to let me have the raw file for this. Seriously though, awesome shot, Ed.

Nice lupine shot. The pastels and soft light make this a very pleasing shot.

Ed beautiful in every way. Great lighting and it has a magical feel. This would be a good one to add some texture to.

Gorgeous as posted Ed and I agree with the "magical" adjective used below as well as David's suggestion that this would be a great image for a texture.

What a gorgeous capture Ed, as soon as the thumb came up I couldn't get to the Larger version fast enough. Their is a lot to see in this but with the main bud composition and the complimentary vegitation as an OOF BG it all really blends well, and compliments the main bloom.

Nicely done!

I love how the leaves on the right look like a butterfly! My only nit is that I wish the leaf wasn't touching the right frame

Beautiful scene!

Beautiful light & the subject with the BG are jus complementing each other perfectly my only nit is the pink OOF flower at the lower right powerpoint it jus pulls my attention away from the main flower (but it may jus be me)

The atmosphere is what makes this splendid photo, for me, Ed. There is a whole world of half seen and only imaginable flowers and wheeds behind the lupine, floating in a sea of colored light. Beautiful.
Cheers.

Wow! I love this image. The softness,the single lupine, the single lupine leaf and the subtle suggestions of color throughout. The DOF is perfect. My one little nit - that weed that intrudes at the lower left hand corner. I wonder how hard it would be to clone it out? I also appreciate the frame you have chosen to put on this lovely piece of art to show to us. Just splendid! Thank you.

Congratulations Ed on the EP! I've been there several times and have not come away with such a pleasing image. The background and the lupine being off center makes it for me. Again, congratulations.
