This was taken on the Sonoma Coast, north of San Francisco, California just last week. The flowers on the bluff were amazing this year.
Canon 5D, M3, ISO 1600, 65 mm, f/11, 1/800 sec.
Comments and critiques welcome.

I was out at Point Reyes not too long ago and the wildflowers I saw were nice but nothing like this. It's an interesting juxtaposition between the pleasant, inviting flowers and broody, stormy sky.
Unfortunately JPEG compression is really hurting this one quite a bit.

What a field of flowers...just gorgeous!
I think there are two things working against this...the jpg compression, and the general lack of contrast in the photo. I might pop the contrast and brightness a hair...and hope that the large file is as sharp as it could be!

Nice moody image, Kathy. I think this image would benefit from using a wider angle lens and getting closer to some of the flower blooms to feature them more prominently in the foreground.
