I Can See For Miles...

and miles and miles and miles....

Carrizo Plain this year. Something strange is happening. This was the only area that had any flowers. Antelope Valley was practically barren this year as well, not to mention Gorman.

Six photo pano stitch. Did the same with the 4x5, waiting for the films and I will be excited to stitch those together.

Enjoy.

Lots of nice color here. I feel like a small crop from the left accentuates the layers better and just a little more sky (as it is a nice sky) would add more depth to the landscape.

Great swath of color. The image works nicely. Good luck with film version, too.

That's pretty wild,Youssef. Pretty good show, at least in this small locale.

I would love to see a large version on these pano type shots. From what I can tell, this looks pretty darn nice! The sky looks especially intriguing and the green mountains as well. The bushes in the middle break up the monotony of the flowers and give the scene extra depth. Looks great Youssef!

A great expanse of flowers there. I've always wanted to go there. I figured it would have been better, or at least as good as last year with all the rain we've had. I think your chosen comp does well to focus on the large field of color. I could see more sky as well. Nice!

What a grand view. I love the wide-open feeling offered by this panoramic presentation. This should look outstanding in print form.
