Hello co-readers!
Wishing you great pics in 2010!

I took this one in this past (European) summer. I know it is cliché, but it was beautifull...

It was morning breaking. I was at another location, but wasn't happy the way the sun was hitting the hills. Decided to move and go check the sunflowers I'd photographed the evening before. Great choice!
I've used some fill-in flash to bring out the foreground flowers.
Only post-processing adjustments are levels tweaks in the sky to increase blue color saturation.

Please give me your comments. How would you improve this shot?
Cheerios!
André P.

Great shot you may want to try and up the contrast a bit in the foreground?

Wow! Brilliant shot. Love the scenery, the colors and the receding perspective. TFS.
