Enemy #1 for this shot wasn't the 8-mile trail or the harsh light, but it was the wind. The strong wind made all the poppy flowers curl up, and kicked up a lot of dust in the far horizon. Not much PP for this shot, and the strong wind prevented me from setting up my tripod to do something really unique. On a god day when all the flowers open up, the colorw will be totally unbelievable. Bright orange colors will cover all the hills and valleys.
Thanks for all the comments.

What luscious colors, Dylan...tangerine and lime. Is this the way it really looked, or have you modified it in pp?

Beautiful! The type of pic that makes me wonder: either you had to walk countless miles into the middle of nowhere to find this scene, or... or there is a big highway out of view just to the rear of the camera position? :-)

Good work with the wide-angle! Compliments and regards Nico
