HFF - Rapeseed fields, gates and fences.

HFF  -  Rapeseed fields, gates and fences.
Taken on the coast near Montrose in NE Scotland. The sea was just a few metres from my back here. The yellow for me stands out against the black sky back-drop, a clear indicator of bad weather to come but it never really did on this day.
The central part of this photo recently came sixth in our CWP competitions.
I wish you all, a great weekend, Herb

Best full screen.

Rapeseed fields -- good for oil, good for the photographer!
BTW, the full screen version doesn't appear to be any larger than the regular view (?)
6 years ago.
Herb Riddle club has replied to Sarah P.
Nice to see you again Sarah. Yes you are right about the rapeseed fields being photogenic.

I am puzzled about your comment re the size though. The upload is a 2400x1435 picture. Now the normal photo viewing area of my PC Ipernity is a picture window covering about 27% of my total 27" monitor screen. When I go full size with the picture (Z then F11 etc) it covers the whole screen except about 1" on both sides. Therefore it is always is well worth while doing that. Perhaps you are using a different method of seeing our Ipernity - ie IMac/IPad/palm-top/phone or even a much larger monitor perhaps. Please let me know how it is Sarah.

Regards, Herb

Sarah P. has replied to Herb Riddle club
Puzzling indeed. I checked different photos of yours and for some reason, they don't expand to the larger size for me anymore -- the same size photo appears against the black background. I checked some photos of other contacts, and this also appears to be the case for some, but not all. Something to investigate, perhaps, but I'm afraid right now I don't have the time to follow up on this. A little preoccupied right now with life ... (sigh.)
