Mellow Yellow take 2

Posted by grouser (Ludlow, United Kingdom) on 11 June 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Getting a bit closer to that blast of yellow from the oilseed. This was taken just over a week ago. The flowers are all gone now.

That rapeseed makes for some amazing landscape effects which have an artistic unreality about them : so intense and you caught it perfectly here..

I like the contrast between the yellow and orange/red of the neighboring field - very vibrant colors.

Ah ! The kind of palette-landscape I can stare at forever : love this yellow pattern (colza we call it in french), the sun made seed ! Bravo*

Oh my... I think this is my favourite photo today !! Those white puffs of clouds against deep blue sky, above the landscape of yellow and green...gorgeous !!! Compositionally, everything works perfect here.
This capture deserves a 5 star rating... here's my click !!

Colours are absolutely stunning. We know the yellow flowers here as canola.

@dobbino: Not come across this name, must be the PC version Rob (Good for rhyming with granola though {the 'don't give me no canola in my mornin' granola' Blues}). See Wolfgang below.

Love the sky and the yellow canola... Funny how things change names, it used to be called rapeseed, but people got upset with the "rape" part of the name and here it was changed to canola, for you it seems to be oilseed.

@vu@granby - Wolfgang: Oilseed rape to give it the full Uk title. Canola must be 'colonial', not come across it before. Used for vegetable oil and bio fuel over here. Seems to have replaced mustard, the yellow crop of my youth.

Wonderful - surreal landscape, the sky really gives this shot impact. ( I have some nice White borders for sale..... very cheap at the moment ).

@observing: I can understand that, there seems to be a glut of them suddenly ;)

A gorgeous and very tranquil feeling landscape. The yellows and the intense blue sky make for a very effective image. Well done.

Link from the wonderful Wiki: proof positive! Well, almost anyway :).

@dobbino: Now why didn't I think of that. Well done Rob. I guess we aren't growing the canola variety here, or if we are they are keeping a low profile on it.
