Hello Pablo,
Yes, we have them here too and I love those superb flowers. I think that they are so nice! This is beautiful capture of this field of Lupines or Lupins?. Colors are very well saturated and I like this unusual POV and composition. Details are very nice too. Thanks,
Claudine

Hi Pablo,
That is a beautiful scene. The rich color saturation and good detail look great. Amazing how mny different shades of them there are. This is really making me wish for spring to get here soon. Nice one.

What a wonderful post, Pablo

All these lupins looks really magnificent!
I don't i've seen so many in one place...in the wild, of course :)
The colors here are simply wonderful and very well saturated, the details are great and sharp throughout the entire frame and the contrast between the blue-ish flowers and the green grass and leaves is amazing!
Also the POV is excellent and the DOF is impressive.
Very well framed and composed, also!

Bravo and TFS

Hola Pablo:
Hermosa composiciòn con estas flores de lupines.
Me gustan sus variados colores que se destacan entre el verde del pasto. En Argentina proliferan estas plantas en la zona sur de la Cordillera de los Andes, en la zona de Bariloche, una ciudad a la que llaman "la Suiza Argentina" por su parecido con el paìs alpino.
Lamentablemente donde vivo no hay estas flores.
Saludos. Nelly

Una hermosa paleta de colores que nos regala la naturaleza y muy bien retratada por ti Pablo.
Gran captura de una especie que personalmente nunca había visto con este esplendor, bien enfocada con agradable encuadre y punto de vista.
Un presentación distinta... y sin dudas muy bonita.
Saludos... Ricardo

A beautiful palette of colors that it gives us the nature and very well depicted by you Pablo.
Great capture of a species that personally I never had viewed with this splendor, well focused with pleasant framing and point of view.
A different presentation... and without doubts very nice.

Hello Pablo,
So you have your roadside painted with pastel of natural colors. This is much more enjoyable than in gardens. A splendid picture with all perfect settings.

Oh Pablo..you made my day with this beautiful field of Lupins. It brings back so many nice memories of summer. Such beautiful colours admidts the green.

We are having a blizzard today 70 km per hour winds and blowing snow, very low visibility.
Thanks for sharing this happy photo.

Hello Pablo,
we having our first snow fall, nothing major but its sticking to the ground. Ooops just looked out the window and the snow is coming down quite well.
This composition sure brightens my day, the colors are fabulous. Very nice composition, I love the way the flowers take up part of the canvas. POV, colors and sharpness are lovely.

Hi Pablo.
In our country, these flowers are met usually in gardens (and even in my garden).
Very nice and pleasant to eyes colourful picture. I like your choice the slope of the hill as an object for shooting. Very impressive view. The bushes (with their deep green tones) at top-right angle of the shot decorate the picture very well. I also like the DOV and the perfect sharpness and details of the whole scene. Your note is short but nice. My best wishes and TFS.
Alexei.

Hello Pablo,
I clearly remember having been impressed by a vast swath of these lovely flowers in the foreground of a mountain picture from a National park in the US a little less than a decade ago when there was no TN, TE or TL on the Web. You looked at those pictures on a few snooty sites with drooling eyes and contended with downloading a few of them for wallpapers.
That Lupins found the climate of your country congenial is a great thought. My, they look so healthy and happy in your lovely picture!
Thanks for sharing this pleasant sight from the summer days, my friend.

Best regards,

Hi Pablo, Good splash of colour. I happen to like to see lupins. They are used as tucker for cattle and sheep in the sand dune country in parts of NZ. Goos clarity and colours.

PS away in the wilds of Borneo from tomorrow. Hope for at least a few nature shots!

ooooh...ooooh warm and dry. Oh yes I remember those days now. We woke up to a frozen world this morning. I like your image Pablo: sharpness and saturation are great. I like the range of color from pale pink to deep purple. Te diagonal composition is effective.

Hi Pablo,
A wonderful colorful photo. Just what we need these days. The clarity and tight framing are perfect, but I feel that you had some movement in either the camera or the lupins. I am missing some detail. But still a nice fresh look and with great colors.
TFS,
Niek

Hello Pablo!
I see winter is over in Norway and the earth has returned to those ancient times when Scandinavia was a hot place... Joking, of course, but what if... The variety of colours of your lupins is vividly reflecting summer abundance of floral life!
Nice work!

Hi Pablo

I thought for a moment that mother nature had gone mad. We already have pansy, crocus and snowdrop flowers but not lupins yet. I'm glad to see this is a shot from summer! Wonderful colours and a simple and beautiful composition

very bright and standing out against the green despite some flat lighting...
you have a good line there in the slight diagonal and the small group of white plants keeps the background in check..
look forward to this season again

Pablo,

I will avoid the "fresh snow" shot... brrrrrrrrr! Instead I feast my eyes in this vision of delight. The soft pastels and colours of a field of lupins! THIS is my yard in the Spring time!!! You are so right "from pure white via different shades of pink and to blue!"" yes and thu to PURPLE!

Delightful sight! I can hardly wait for spring! Tfs, ;j.

PS This shot is too funny, for this is what my bushfeld looks like!
MY lupins/lupines are wild! No need to cultivate; they grow wild all over New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland! A sight to see.

Here is an interesting tidbit; 150-200 species, including:
Lupinus albus
Lupinus angustifolius
Lupinus luteus
Lupinus albifrons
Lupinus arboreus
Lupinus arizonicus
Lupinus bicolor
Lupinus chamissonis
Lupinus diffusus
Lupinus excubitus
Lupinus formosus
Lupinus longifolius
Lupinus microcarpus
Lupinus mutabilis
Lupinus nanus
Lupinus nootkatensis
Lupinus perennis
Lupinus polyphyllus
Lupinus sulphureus
Lupinus texensis
Lupinus tidestromii
Lupinus variicolor

These are different from our Texas Lupines (Bluebonnets). Obviously not EVERYTHING is bigger in Texas. ha ha

Hi Pablo, I'll bet these would look good in a properly controlled environment, but any plant not in its place I guess is a weed eh? Good, colourful shot of these lupins. Now if you could just get these to compete with the dandelions...

Thanks, John

Hallo Pablo
This is really a beautiful photo, and I wish I could be there to witness this sight. I am sure if you look through my critiques given to fellow members, you’ll notice that the majority of them are awarded to photos containing something with the colour of purple. I love purple and even created a theme with the title "My purple obsession." Thanks for sharing this beautiful and colourful scenery with us. The combination of violet, blue, lilac, pink, cerise and whit is just stunning and an eye-catcher. This is one of those scenes, where if you would get the opportunity, you would react like a youngster and run through the grass, chase butterflies and just forget about everything and everybody for a few hours. Much enjoyable. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards
Anna
