    Sowed a wild flower meadow last June and it's just coming into bloom right now. Late I know but well worth it.
    Took this photo last Saturday which was quite a windy day, but it meant that I was able to get the flowers face on. So getting down low, I was able to flowers and a perspective view of the landscape into the background.

    What ya think?

    I like it, the colours are nice and I like the blurry landscape in the background. Slightly more wide angle perhaps

    I like it - really bold splashes of colour. Would be interesting in a morning or evening light to have more yellow and more depth of shadows.

    Nice one. Flowers always go down better than sheep's eyes... :)
    The colours are very bright and it is actually an uplifting picture, I find.

    Again, nice one.

    Thanks Lads for you remarks. Really glad you like it. I really love it myself.

    FX, something clicked when you said 'wide angle', but it was the best I could with my compact digital (Sony DSC-P72). There isn't a day that doesn't by when I regret selling my Olympus OM10 to pay the rent a long time ago. Learnt an awful lot with that camera. Things digital cameras only dream about.
    I've recently bought myself Panorama Maker software - that could have done the wide angle job for me, but it's not like the real thing.

    Yeah the software isn't the real thing, you just can't add the effect later. Wide angle comes at a price alright. I have a 300D myself, but I used to have a Minolta film SLR and all my lenses are for that, inluding my sigma fisheye which I love and is now sadly not doing much. I've been looking at the Sigma 12-24 but it's about €700 so I want to give it a lot of thought, can't really justify spending that amount at the moment.

    Woops, just noticed you meant panoramic shots, I meant to give depth of field. I've used the program that came with my camera to join flicks but I always find it's much better to do it manually in photoshop. As for examples of the depth of field , heres a couple.

    Not the best examples I could find but you can see what I mean.
