Dragomir Nikolov
Great work! Congrats!
Ray Mathis replied:
Thanks Dragomir. It brings back memories of mosquitoes and ticks and trying to keep them off me, and out of the 4x5 camera.

Madeline Ellis
Congratulations on the sale of this beautiful work.
Ray Mathis replied:
thanks Madeline. The weird thing is that this field bloomed like this one year and hasn't since

Linda D Lester
Very pretty Ray! Congrats on your sale!
Ray Mathis replied:
Thanks Linda. Funny, but all I can think of is all the mosquitos and how hot I was because I layered to avoid bites, and ticks.

Tracy Salava
Very nice!
Ray Mathis replied:
Thanks Tracy. It was a banner year that year for flowers, which hasn't repeated itself yet.

Congrats Ray
Ray Mathis replied:
Thanks Jeff. It will help pay for my first digital camera, which costs more than my first car did

This is just so pretty! Love the light! Congratulations on your sale!
Ray Mathis replied:
Thanks Diane. On shots like these I learned to use a 2 and 1 stop neutral density split field Cokin filters. They give a slight magenta cast to the sky even though they're supposed to be gray.
