Ingrid: What a delightful scene and well conceived capture. I like your DOF/POF choice especially. Makes me long for spring. 2 thumbs up! >=))>

I like the light and colors in this, and especially the darker area in the center.

Love the rhythm of the shapes and colors in the composition Ingrid. The light's not too shabby either. Beautiful scene and image.

Terrific use of selective focus/shallow DOF. Well done.

Hi Ingrid. I really like the colors and the number of poppies are great. I wish that the empty spot toward the bottom-left had a few blooms in it. Great light and a wonderful, airy feeling.

Lovely interpretation, Ingrid. I really like it. Your choice of dof and pof make this very special and artistic. I'd like to suggest a crop- off the left, either to more of a square or to a vertical- just to see. Hmmm... maybe not...

Beautiful colors and textures, Ingrid! I like your POV decision, it takes me into the image!
Happy New Year!

I remember this, or one like it. Very, very artisitic rendering of flowers in a field.
