the wheat looks brown instead of golden without the sun and that sky and the mountains in the back ground.... just fantastic

@Koushiro~光子郎: Thank you very much, Koushiro.
stunning shot indeed! i love the darker tones and textures of this Michael... the light is a marvelous 'blue' which plays brilliantly against the gold of the wheat!

@dj.tigersprout: Thanks, Jaycee. I was lucky with this one.
@the lightwriter: You are very kind. Thanks so much, Lightwriter.
A wonderful image Michael. I sure would like to see this image without the boarder. Your image has wonderfully subtle tones. The boarder blinds me and forces you to post a smaller image (meant constructively).
7 Jul 2008 1:23pm
@Craig: Thanks, Craig. You are quite right in that the border makes the image smaller than necessary.
What an amazing shot with great exposition and composition. The white frame fits great!

@Shun: Thank you, Mirko. I appreciate your view.
Amazing colours, lighting... and unique atmosphere!!! This picture deserves a much larger frame and a prominent space on the wall.:-)

A striking change, but I guess the rain was needed. Perfect vista Michael.

At first view, I've believed it was a simple shot, but with time, I appreciate it more and more : colors, atmosphere…

@Ronnie 2¢: Many thanks, Ronnie.
@amy: Thanks so much, Amy.
What an interesting composition with contrasts that look like two photos have been merged together. The great detail on the wheat almost looks artificial.
8 Jul 2008 2:02am
@Steven: Not artificial but enhanced with sharpening and Photoshop lighting. Thanks, Steven.
great shot! after all the comments above there is not much else I can really add ;-) real great atmosphere and mood - i love it!

Michael I have been so busy running back and forth between our two homes getting the one ready for moving in that I haven't been making comments or looking and I missed this gorgeous picture of the wheat. I could just stare at this for hours. The contrasting color of the wheat and sky is simply awesome. Wow, wow, wow. Incredible photography my friend.
