Description

As Anna and I started our drive home last weekend, we passed acres and acres of mustard. It's just a weed that comes up before they plow and plant, but the vision is stunning. This foto came out not so well, blurry and crooked, but I still liked the look of it. So, with lots of help from PhotoShop, this is what I came up with. **eva cassidy~~fields of gold

All these things remind me of something:) This reminds me of great yellow fields of mustard in southern Germany...Bavaria to be exact. Seems to me hopps grow at the same time. All this comes full circle to German beer and brats smeared with golden mustard. BTW, I hadn't heard Eva Cassidy before...I'll have to dial her albums up on Rhapsody.

Gorgeous, I also love the fields of mustard in California...and even more the rapeseed fields in England, which are INCREDIBLE! I like your "salvage" work here!

Hey, not to fret, this is a scene worthy of a Vincent van Gogh painting, Marilyn, and it really cuts the mustard! It looks like it was snapped from a vehicle doing about 50 mph.

There's a poem, who's first line is, " Nature's first green is gold ", this is a lovely spot.

I always like how you make the most of shots that were victim of circumstance, or which you weren't fully happy with: You always make them art and you're willing to put them up in front of the world and ask us to join in on your journey. I always love the results & the spirit you put into them...The 'crooked' is gone, and you managed to turn it blur into a painterly look. It has the elements of fine & basic 'field' capture: an amber low-ground, a full green midground, and those wonderful bursts of infinite yellow in the top—real nature stuff! Glad you posted this, your postwork coaxed out its essences. Liked it the first time I saw it, like it even more now. (You want a nice comparison? Here's van Gogh's "Wheat Field": Know that the original is much more vivid. Still: Once there, click to enlarge and you'll see how a great painter captured the same music & flow you captured here. Nice company to be in! It's here.) (PS—the poem mamabobbijo mentioned is by Robert Frost. If you're interested, here it is: Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay.
