Beautiful scene and colours just right, well for me anyway.

I am disappointed - although I do like the image very much - misread the title and was expecting puppies at Bamburgh
No matter how many lenses I have owned - I have always needed just one more

You should be very pleased with this one. Did you try lightening up just the castle a bit. I wondered if it would draw the eye in a bit more?

Very nice Stan, like this. Spent ages looking for a decent poppy field last year. Hopefully I'll get a chance at this one if I go to The Farnes

Thank you all for the kind comments. A lot of the poppies looked "past their best" but there were plenty of "buds"

This one is streets ahead of the first one posted Stan. The angle / perspective is great and the colours are spot on. Very good and a great advert for the 16-45 lens.

Personally I think the Poppies are the focal point on this one. Perhaps drawing attention to the castle would distract from this? I dunno?

The castle is really a just "space filler" on this image and I hope fits into the background nicely, but thanks for looking and the kind comments.
