I thought of taking a shot like that but they overwhelm the image when there are that many.
Thank you so much and Happy Spring! S-

My first time photographing Chinook Pass wildflowers, I used an equiv. 24 mm lens and f/22 (or smaller). For a long time I couldn't figure out why the photos disappointed me so much ... they overwhelm the image when there are that many..
Once I started isolating the composition to one or a few + used more shallow dof, I was much happier.
Here is your delicate beauty straightened (whether perception or reality, the slope in the background distracted me), with slight vignette from a Chromebook app.

I should get a picture to show you but even as I stood there looking at them I was overwhelmed then pointing a camera at them they all seemed to blur one into another so although I would love to get a field of lupine one made more sense, at least at the time. And I love that you leveled the field and wish the trail was that easy to do the same! It's a wonderful rendition and I thank you for it! S-

The day is calm and the lupines will be out awhile longer so if you have any recommendations for a reshoot please let me know! S-

That's a lovely lupine very well captured. Looking at a field of them is beautiful, but in isolation is where they really shine. Nice separation between subject and background. I assume that the lay of the land was sloped, but Linda's straightened version seems to work also. I guess in my reality quest I'd have to ask which is a better rendition of reality.

I'm one that don't do shots of this much anymore, I will say I do like this one. The subject being clearly in focus with superb depth of field. The color is spot on, not being over saturated and pleasing to the eye. Excellent composition.

I like how the light varies on the petals. Sometimes they appear light purple and other areas are quite saturated. This adds a dynamic to the composition that is pleasing. You have the flowers well placed with one exception. The two tree on toward the top are a distraction and take away from the impact of the composition. Not sure if you could have gotten the same effect by moving around the flowers and looking for a vantage point where the trees would not interfere with the flower. Not a deal breaker by any stretch; but it is a distraction to me.

I wanted to isolate the lupin and bring it forward by lightening the background, adding some texture and PS curves.
