Description
Came across this scene while wandering the tulip fields of Holland. The painter was so focused it seemed he didn't even notice I was there.The setting sun gave such a nice warm atmosphere to everything.

I imagine this man is out there almost every day painting; capturing natural beauty is a very zen pastime for retirees (it looks like?)
Interesting that you captured him capturing it! There's definitely a very calming sense to this photo from that, and yet with such vibrant colours and sense of visual motion.
Despite the bright flowers, it seems like the painting itself glows even brighter; maybe to do with the angle towards the sun and the darker tones surrounding it- it really becomes the focus of the painting, making it seem like all of the flower rows are being pulled towards it rather than retreating into the distance. I think that may be part of what makes this piece so engaging- where most images with strong perspective convergence like this pull the eye away into the distance and nothingness, this brings us IN.
Great framing, focus, and an all around great shot!

Sunsets make everything look beautiful.
I don't see many people painting like that in the field anymore. These days, references come from printed books and the Internet...

I love this. The focus gives it an almost painting-like quality itself, and the framing is simply amazing. DD well-deserved!

Strange comment:
"Showcasing both portraiture in all of its spontaneous glory coupled with nature, again in wonderful glory" .
I wonder where's the nature here.
Human nature glory... maybe.
Anyway, congrats for the DD!

The flowers, while sculpted by humanity, are still completely natural. If you discount the things impacted by us, there'd be no nature left to list.

No no no... I still have a noble idea of the nature, and this is not those lines of tulip ordered as soldiers. If you put down the idea of nature as anything natural, then you will never be able to protect it. An ice cream could be natural with your definition.
