Flooded with yellow

This was a beautiful field of flowers. I added a slight bit of glamour glow to make it look a bit more like a painting.
And, he trees in the meadow were sparsely foliated , so I used the glow to slightly blur their "twigginess".
Hope you like yellow!

I love yellow, and I love big open fields of yellow. I can only imagine doing a 360 from that spot, great

I really like this, Lucy. I love yellow and I like how you used the fence in the composition. A very artistic and pleasing image.

Lucy, flooded with yellow is the perfect description. This is bright and wonderful. My "traditionalist" side would like for the oof flowers in the foreground to be removed, but my non-traditionalist side really likes the glow treatment with the sharp fence as the focal point. Overall, I think that I'd really enjoy having this hanging on the wall and that I'd learn a lot from repeated viewing.

A lovely photograph Lucy :smile: Nicely taken. Also like how you added the border. A small nit, I found I noticed two OOF flowers right away; the one on the left side near the top of the trees and the one by where the fence bends. Thanks for sharing.

I really like this Lucy. It's easy on the eyes. The use of glamour glow is very effective here, and you have a simple yet very strong composition. I also think the framing adds a nice final touch :toast:
