" What Happens in the Fields...."




















This weeks challenge was to explore the realm of color.  The image provided was a pastoral landscape of rolling farm land.  The object was to use a variety of color.  Not unlike the lesson learned in the Harry Chapin's song  " Flowers Are Red".
Instead of just using the standard green fields and blue skies, the challenge was to integrate a vast range of color.
I love working in technicolor, whenever possible, and of course interjecting my own brand of irreverent humor.    I decided to go for the obvious laugh.  Since we are dealing with crops and farm land, why not have a lost alien couple.  They have landed in the wheat and are now engaged in ritualistic activity of arguing over where they are.
Of course in any species, the man refuses to pull over and ask for directions.

  1. Yours is the most unique interpretation of the DSFDF challenge! I always suspected that remote farm fields is where the aliens have landed. LOL

  5. LOVE your irreverent sense of humor!! See, if there had been crop circles, they would not have gotten lost! I struggled with what to put in the foreground to add interest in my rendition of this photo. I would never have thought of aliens. Well done!

  6. Marvelous! Now if only they'd had the map Right Side Up, they be at the International UFO museum in Roswell, New Mexico (another unlikely but real place).

  7. Excellent! You'd think they'd have a GPS system...

  8. I missed Mr. and Mrs. Conehead when I saw this challenge photo, but I love your speculation on the directions part. I have no reason to doubt that this is a universal male trait. Well done with a smile.

  9. Still laughing! I saw this a few weeks ago on DSFDF and meant to find out who did it. Should have known it was you, Mr. Creativity!
