Paradise Is....

"Paradise Is...." Sunflowers, Sunsets, Mountains, and Colorado!

Photographed on the eastern plains of Colorado, during a display of what I can only call 'Heavenly'.

I sure hope this Sunflower field returns this year, and praying hard at that too! It has provided me with some of the most amazing photographs I have ever shot....and unobstructed views of the whole front range are almost a rarity these days.

You can see the entire series so far that I have posted (yes I have MANY more yet to come) in my collection called
The Sunflower Series

Critique by *rorymac666 Apr 4, 2009, 1:53:53 PM
This photo is so visually stunning, with the lighting creating an unusual orange colour on the sunflowers which contrasts well with the green. Although the horizon line is very high up in the frame, one can still see so much - the mountain range and the sky.
Everybody has seen a sunflower field picture before, but this is so impressive because it is so much better than any I have seen before. It seems that you chose the perfect time of day to capture this photo; when the heads were facing away from the mountains, and the sky and light were attractive.
Very well done, I hope to see more like this!

Paula I just saw your message here, that is pretty odd actually....I didn't have an EL on that image, and will have to look in to this more, have you seen the book personally? I have to figure out a way to contact the publisher asap

(lol printed in China :D)

and some more important info

And here you have the publisher website AND the book we're talking about:

The funniest thing is that it's German company ('spolka komandytowa' is a German form of company) and I guess they only have a department in Poland. Though I might be wrong and it's separate firm...

And here's publishing company contact info:

company name: G+J Gruner+Jahr Polska
Sp. z o.o. & Co.
Spółka Komandytowa

address: ul.Marynarska 15
02-674 Warszawa

phone: tel.: +48 22 360 38 00
phone / fax: tel.fax: +48 22 360 36 45


client service office:
tel.: +48 22 360 37 77
fax: +48 22 360 42 08
e-mail: bok@guj.pl


I think that's all I was able to find. Tell me how the case is developing, I'm very interested in how it will all go.
