What’s Your Preference?

I know, it's a miracle, right? I actually smiled for this one. I had a few other outtakes with different poses, but I decided on this one. I was driving down highway 109 the other day and saw this patch of flowers, so tonight I parked at the church down the road and walked over. I almost didn't get to shoot tonight because a storm was coming in. I edited the raw in Lightroom 2 and removed a stay hair/watermarked in PSPX2. As soon as I edit the others, I'll add them to my stream.

I love it! A field of flowers is one of the greatest props there is. And, of course, with a smile!!! Nicely done!

Thanks! As soon as I saw the field I knew I'd do pictures there. Well, it wasn't really a field, only a patch. I framed the shots tight, but had I zoomed out, you'd probably been able to see it in it's entirety. Here are the "outtakes" as I call them. For some reason I really liked the heavy vignetting I did, not really sure why. Maybe it's the isolated feeling.

Oh look, a smile in this one, too!

The bright smile to go with the bright colours in the first one is great. You look like you were having fun in the second two in a love patch of flowers. Thanks for sharing your pics and smile with us.
