Red in Yellow (Vertorama)

Location: Canola field on a farm near Durbanville.

 

Description: Regular viewers of my stream might recognize that this Vertorama is very similar to another Vertorama which I uploaded to Flickr in August last year.

 

While I was setting up the step-ladder to give me a bit of extra elevation, Enzo was getting rid of some extra energy by running up and down the path. I liked the way that his red T-shirt contrasted with all the yellow canola flowers, so I snapped a couple of images of him running!

 

At that stage I was still of the opinion that a human figure would almost always spoil a good landscape photograph! Although I did believe that a well-placed person might give an image some extra impact, at the time I felt that it would be so much of a distraction, that it would kindof lock your eyes and perhaps prevent them from roaming around and enjoying the beauty in rest of the scene.

 

What the heck was I thinking???

 

Oh, and by the way… the clouds were from another day…

 

This one is definitely better when viewed Large
