Hey! Thats cool Richard...I might wish for more shadows/darks in the sky...but nice, unique perspective here.

I too like the perspective. I wish there was detail on the immediate flowers and the sky was a bit darker.

Great perspective; good idea. Same thoughts as the others re: sky and depth of field.

Its a unique perspective for sure. I'm not sure it works however. I think this type of comp would work better if the lavender fields flowed up a hill in the background to give this shot more depth and the feeling of expansive lavender fields. I like the creative thinking though.
