    I liked the play of blue and yellow of this canola crop and Sterling Ranges WA Australia.

    Canon EOS 3, Canon 28-135mm lens. Velvia 50, 1/30 sec F16, mirror lock-up, Tripod.

    I really like the strong bands of color in the image, the blue of the range also adds a nice mood to the scene. Very pretty scene.

    The idea behind this image is a very good one. A few things that I would point out that would have made it stronger is the tightness between the mountain peaks and the top of the frame, the right edge cuts off the tree, and you possibly have too much foreground. If you had tilted upwards just a little bit you would have balanced the bottom and top of the frame.

    I think the color of the canola field really pops, but really makes the background look flat. A slight tweak with Curves, masked so that it only affects the background, would make the entire image more dynamic.

    Local Contrast Enhancement might bring about the same effect (USM filter at 20%, radius 50).

    Hi David thanks for the tips - I have applied them to repost. (applied local contrast to upper half).

    John,
    I like the re-post a lot. The only thing I'd say is you lost a tiny bit of density in the trees that you had in the original. Otherwise, it's a very handsome image.
