The Perennial Rape

Taken on Sunday afternoon near us - all comments welcome as usual.

The hours I've spent looking out over that stuff with a gun on my lap and the dog leaning on my leg. Woodpigeons love oilseed rape.

Nice shot - I think it might have worked better with the tree in leaf?

Is there something your not telling us

Dunno... I think open fields are just about the dullest photographic subject there is (other than pigeons, possibly). Just because something is nice to look at, doesn't necessarily mean it'll work in a photo. imho.

If you're up on a hill overlooking miles of countryside with something of interest in the frame, then fair enough. This one is far too low down - so low in fact that you can barely even see the line of trees at the other side of the field. There's simply nothing to look at.

Couldn't agree more, GfK.

Have you a quick line to God to get an Oak tree to burst into leaf just to satisfy a photographer?

A slightly higher view point may improve an already excellent shot but may have lost some of the interesting shape of the trunk.
