In two days it will be autumn here, so I'm trying to keep that sunny feeling for as long as possible. :smile:

This was taken just south of Amsterdam.

The grape hyacinths make a 'path' between the other flower making the image almost an abstract. I do find myself wishing for more room at the top to see where this 'path' leads.

Marsel,

Well for one thing, there is no shortage of color in this one. Just an outstanding image. I definetly like the flow of the flowers throughout the scene. I also would agree a tad more room on top would have made for a better presentation.

Thanks everyone. I do have versions with more room at the top, but the light was extremely bright in the background. The only way to solve that was to use an ND grad, but that also effected the already dark foliage on the left and right. I guess I could try to blend two exposures.
