It’s that time of year, the wild flowers are out.  They attract photographers like a magnet.  There is no better way to spend a spring day than shooting in the field; it gets the hart beating and your senses on full alert. 

This image of California Golden Poppies which were shot in Arizona (would that make them Arizona Golden Poppies?) expresses one of those days.  The air is clear the sun is bright and for a few minutes or a few hours our mind can be distracted by nature.  I like the gold offset against the rich dark blue sky.  It allows the flowers to pop in the image.

There are a few suggestions I would like to make to the photographer.  When shooting something beautiful watch out for the background.  The sky works well but the dark tree abruptly transitions to a less appealing scene.  In the lower left hand corner there is an out of focus plant that does not harmonize with the patterns of the poppies.

It’s OK at the time of the shoot to remove items you don’t want in the image and it’s legitimate to move your angle of view to eliminate background distractions.
