Too harsh on yourself. The strident backlight and the brown vegetation oozes Summer heat and dryness.
What don't you like about it? To me this works well, nice sunburnt colours and the backlit sunflowers give a sense of the heat of summer.
Backlit by a solar halo? No apology required!
Nice shot - aaaand, now I'm hungry!
That huts. You did get a spot of green though. :-{
Very nice shot.
Lovely shot. So good!
I think this is a great capture. Are smiles banned here?
Hard to go past the watcher; love your interaction with him via the tongs. Liking the composition and pov you've adopted too.
A perfectly fine shot! (And that story got a chuckle from me.)
