Description
Paradise Is...."Paradise Is...." Sunflowers, Sunsets, Mountains, and Colorado!
Photographed on the eastern plains of Colorado, during a display of what I can only call 'Heavenly'.
I sure hope this Sunflower field returns this year, and praying hard at that too! It has provided me with some of the most amazing photographs I have ever shot....and unobstructed views of the whole front range are almost a rarity these days.
You can see the entire series so far that I have posted (yes I have MANY more yet to come) in my collection called
The Sunflower Series

The funniest thing is that it's German company ('spolka komandytowa' is a German form of company) and I guess they only have a department in Poland. Though I might be wrong and it's separate firm...

Amazing shot! Never seen anything like it. Thanks!!

That is flat-out stunning. Great colors; what technique was used, as far as light control? Filters, or HDR? I'm guessing some rather nice GNDs, as this appears far too contrasty to be an HDR. Might be mistaken.
On a different note, I actually drove through this area last October, swearing that I would return in the spring to see the blooms. Sadly, time was not on my side.

This is just like a scene out of Samurai Champloo! Fuu could be searching for the samurai that smells of sunflowers right as we speak, in this very field!
Great picture!
