Poppies, a photo from Bologna, Emilia-Romagna

Photographer's Note

Yesterday afternoon, wandering around Bologna countryside. It's so easy to find fields full of red spots, I found one that looked almost like a red sea, but there wasn't the possibility to stop the car without any risk...

Hi Sabrina,

You have a knack for finding special views in the commonplace. The perspective you've chosen for this photo is superb, as are the colors on display.

I am told that one out of seven males, and an insignificant number of females exhibit some level of red-green color blindness. They cannot distinguish the difference between red and green. I once had a friend in Oxford, a well-known theoretical physicist, had gone 42 years of life, when he discovered he had the condition. He and his family were picking strawberries, and his family discovered that he was going by shapes and not colors. He seemed fascinated to disvcover that trait, but not really upset. That is all he knew. He would never have been able to appreciate what he was missing in your photo.

Last night we went to a new Italian restaurant, Vita Felice. The waitress serving us turned out to be from Arezzo, and was surprised to find out I knew about Ponte Buriano.

Have a good week,
Bulent

Ciao Sabri,
hai cercato proprio un bel contrasto con il verde-blu-rosso-bianco.
Per questo mi piace questa foto.
Ottimo POV e sharp.

Francesco.

Hi Sabrina,

Nothing wrong with laying down in a field of flowers. Good point of view choosen - no idea if it was an artistic idea, or purely lazyness. ;-) Nice one!

Greetings, Dennis

Hi Sabrina,
Very colourful with the three dominant colours. Your pov in low angle is very well choosen and works splendid. Really good eye seeing this and the presentation is truly wonderful.
Great work...very colourful.
Have a nice day, Henk

hi sabrina,
a classic pov for such photos but you did a great work here,
first i want to mention the contrast of the blue sky with the rest of the photo, then i like that there are a lot of poppies closed up so there is balance with all the vivid colours of your shot, thanx for sharing,
stratos
