Landscape Photo Competition 2014 No 1 : Entry Number 381

Judges Comment

This is a fun look at a lavender crop in full flower. You have done something to the colour balance which has made the lavender too blue and the saturation of all colours is too high. It is tempting when infront of the computer to boost things too much but nature does know best and a natural look is always going to get further in a landscape photography competition. False colours will never compete with naturally lit real colours. The secret is to take your picture when natural light is flattering and special. I really like your composition though and the people enjoying the lavender field are nicely placed in the top right corner.
