HAPPY EASTER to everyone....! ! !

If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten,
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps.
Just purse your lips and whistle.
That's the thing.
And...

Always look on the bright side of life.

From a first millisecond glance, and probably due to my screen settings, it looked like somebody put the saturation option on maxium. But it only took less than another millisecond to realise the power, precision and beauty it holds.

The shoes to start of with, are a clear connection with the flowers. Like the flowers are leaching into the shoes. I'm not one for shoes, barefeet in a field, when ever I get the chance, is always preffered but this heavy idea of shoes is completely brushed aside. The composition and stance of the legs make it transcend and just make it light and light. (In 'weight' and 'sun kinda light').

The field is gorgous, the furthest part of the field is just a haze of yellow, inferring it just never ends but swarms together. The sold black tights levels out the brightness and makes it harmonic and peaceful.

I could talk about this for days, its meanings and ideas and techqniues, like she is running towards the audience, not towards the neverending golden horizon, shes coming out of it, radiating with the light....

Overall, definetly deserving a dd, and as I venture into winter here, I will know spring will provide such beauty as you have captured expectionally well. Bravo!

How the focus is on the dandelions instead of the shoes is a different and nice approach. It says that the person is there and having the time of her life, but the joy belongs to the flowers that surround her. Love the colors and the edit in contrast really makes the pictures pop. Also having black leggings was nice because it draws the eye to the shoes and what is bellow the shoes. The angle that you took the shot is also interesting because it almost looks life you were in the grass on your stomach because of the up-close flowers near the bottom of the photo. Overall I think this is a great shot that deserves attention.
