I need a reminder today that it's supposed to be Flaming June!! Instead we have had days of cold, wet and windy weather. In contrast, this image was taken on a warm summer's evening :)
On an autumn day of sunshine & shadow, I had a gorgeous view of the fields of Salisbury plain in Wiltshire, UK, from the vantage point of Old Sarum. As they peacefully graze, sheep add the perfect touch to this pastoral capture of the English countryside.
A result of a bike ride to a nerby field - poppies were scarce but I found some - there were maybe ten in the field but the number does not equal quality.
I like the sunset a lot and decided to hide the sun directly behind the petals of the poppy. To enhance the image I used a Hitech soft 0.6 stop gradual ND filter and added some delicate touches in RawTherapee. I guess PS is too much for me. ;-)
I started expermenting with an ND filter so more goodies to come soon. Hopefully today I will upload my first (not the first one in general but the first I am happy with) result of romancing with that filter.
Have a great day everyone and thank you all for faves and possibly comments.

Colza field
Please support me on my NatGeo photo contest:
A field of oilseed at Michaelstone-y-Fedw between Cardiff and Newport.
Not that it should matter in the grand scheme of things, but this image is a 3 photo vertical pano, hence the slightly odd shape of the photo.
Another shot from my walk across the local fields the other evening. The evening sunlight was gorgeous.

Every year I find it so very difficult to say good-bye to Autumn, my favorite season. I just have to post this shot for one more look ...
THANKS

Grand Teton National Park
Grand Teton National Park is a United States National Park in northwestern Wyoming. At approximately 310,000 acres (480 sq. mi; 130,000 ha; 1,300 km2), the park includes the major peaks of the 40-mile-long (64 km) Teton Range as well as most of the northern sections of the valley known as Jackson Hole.
It is only 10 miles (16 km) south of Yellowstone National Park, to which it is connected by the National Park Service-managed John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway.
Along with surrounding National Forests, these three protected areas constitute the almost 18,000,000-acre (7,300,000 ha) Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, one of the largest intact mid-latitude temperate ecosystems in the world.
Human history of the Grand Teton region dates back at least 11,000 years, when the first nomadic hunter-gatherer Paleo-Indians began migrating into the region during warmer months pursuing food and supplies. In the early 19th century, the first White explorers encountered the eastern Shoshone natives. Between 1810 and 1840, the region attracted fur trading companies that vied for control of the lucrative beaver pelt trade. U.S. Government expeditions to the region commenced in the mid-19th century as an offshoot of exploration in Yellowstone, with the first permanent white settlers in Jackson Hole arriving in the 1880s.
