Flowers in Hayman

I went up to The Hayman burn on sunday and the wildflowers are in full bloom. I've been going up there for about a year now and it's become one of my favorite places to shoot. All comments are welcome.

Wow - that is something else. I really like this Michael.

I'm not trying to scoop you or anything but how do you get to this area? I was going to head up to Goose Creek Trailhead this Friday - is that in the general area?

Looks nice! I wish I wasn't playing golf all weekend or I'd head up there. Maybe next weekend....

Im headed there shortly--Aleksei, goose creek is partly in the burn area, you have to drive (from the south) through miles of burn to get there.
I love this comp, but it looks extremely soft to me, almost like you applied an artistic filter or something. Not necessarily a bad thing, if it was intentional

Something doesn't ring correctly here....this almost looks like a night shot.

Stan,
No artistic filter, in fact I didn't do any processing to this shot. When I shot this it was a little after 8:00 p.m. and the settings were f29 at 1 second. there was a slight breeze at the time. Could some movement in the folige give it the soft look?

That is a beautiful carpet of flowers, but as mentioned by John and Stan it is a little soft, and a little dark. IMO you probably didn't need to use such a small aperture, so if there was a breeze that long shutter would of caught the flower movement.

That's an incredible carpet of blue!
I think you could lighten it slightly and not hurt the saturations.

thanks for all the input. Here's a lighter version for your review.

Glad I checked back....that's much better!

That's incredible! I like the 2nd version better, as well.

thanks for all the comments and compliments.
