Across the Field

by Les Flynn

Came across this scene on my way to Southend. Just liked the minimalist feel to the scene.

Equipment: Fujifilm FinePix S9500

Simple but very striking and eye-catching – I like the composition!

Brillant. Just the right picture and just the right framing of it. You should def frame it. I know you tagged it abstract but I would have preferred blue rather than green to be honest. I like that you used a point and shoot to capture it. Only a good photographer could do that.

Sunny & bright…and the ‘path’ takes you right on down and across the field. I like it! Very well done! Thanks for sharing it with us. God bless you. Joanne

Simple but mesmerising! By the way, I think the green is another field with a different crop, not the sky!

This is one of the most beautifully composed photographs that I have EVER seen. The trail ort path focused on the right and the open expanse. In answer to the question “why is the sky green?”, England is a “Green and Pleasant Land”.

I think it is not sky but a grass field.

Funny, that anyone thought that was sky and not a green field. I appreciate that you didn’t crop the green out; it adds to the simplicity of this image, and is the reward for following that trail through the flowering field in the forefront.

A beautiful scene, for sure. I can see why it stopped you in your tracks.

Wow, very striking with a path through the beautiful field of flowers!

Yes, and the brown-reds of the path perfectly balance the green of the grass. Really striking and simple color scheme.

Southend is indeed in the UK and this looks like a field of rape, used for oil. Looks pretty but smell awful. Great colours.
