This would be a real classic if the woman was to the left, so her head appeared against the darker background of the barn instead of the lighter part. That would also be a better balance. Sometimes it is just not possible to time the shot and get the ideal composition though. It's excellent as it stands.

Welcome to the forum carolyaya, and what a great first post. I love the colours of the tulips and the contrast with the barn in the background. Encore!

Thanks for the comments on the barn/tulip image. Here's another photo from that day--a different field.

It would be easy to move her if you're into that sort of thing.

Yes these are tulip and daffodil fields taken near La Connor area in Washington state. The Tulip festival goes on for one month every spring.

I like number 2 just as much as 1 so another "wow" from me. I love the effect of the misty background in the daffodil shot. Did that take some extra post processing or was it just how it looked on the day. I ask only because it was neatly done if it was pp.
