These images delight my soul .. it's just a beautiful symphony of incredible colors ... I love it .. :) ♥ All photos here are pure wonders .. :) great work ..♥
I love these, Stickup, and I’m with the others on the feel of an impressionist painting. The sky: how did you get those texture bumps?—don’t know the terminology. And the intensity of color! Fantastic.
I like the first three best, each with a different take on the workers. The first and second me think of workers in cotton fields—quite a somber balance against the happiness in the brilliant colors. The third has the power of the stare from the guy in the hoodie—it’s not clearly anger or challenge, but that’s what I feel. And again, that as contrast to the pretty flowers. Just superb photos, Stickup.
During the month of March through mid-May from a nutrient-rich soil, laying dormant, dusty and brown for nearly a year, a vibrant rainbow of color blossoms ruby-red to soft, pure white, as migrant workers hand-pluck and gather, stem by stem, bouquets of Persian Buttercups.
i have never seen such fields!!! we don't have these flowers here... i was preparing to ask about them, when i read Dee's poem and then looked for "persian buttercups"... it is indeed a magical splendour...
Ranaculous by the acre! I remember seeing these fields as a wee tot when we traveled back and forth between San Diego and LA. I've just never stopped to look. Of course your photos are wonderful … and you got caught shooting by that one guy lol, but I guess they're used to it?
I want to know about the blue flowers. Blue is very difficult to achieve.
Beautiful images like paintings..../

ReplyDeleteUnreal! Like a photographic Impressionist painting. My favourite is the first one, but they are all eye candy. Such a treat for these snow-blind eyes.

Like a box of summer candies...
ReplyDeleteWow! These are gorgeous photos, tastefully and beautifully enhanced.
ReplyDeleteI live pretty close to these fields. Your photos have enhanced them.
On est éclaboussé de couleurs, que c'est bon après la grisaille de l'hiver...
