I am not sure, but is this one of the family of the  Antirrhinum ?

This is Linaria vulgaris. Vernacular names are Common Toad-Flax, Yellow Toad-Flax, or Butter-and-Eggs.

Thanks Bjørn ! Very helpful.                             


And thanks for the compliment Frank. It was light, just before the sun broke through the clouds. Which makes the light soft, I guess.

A few meters from the  Linaria vulgaris I found this one, next to some Tanacetum vulgare

Perhaps the    Lupinus angustifolius?

I have more belief in a Medicago sativa or similar.

I started to only shoot in the best 30 Minutes in the morning and evening, but after 32 years I feel that I can produce good shots under any lighting condition by adjusting or manipulation with simple means.

Yes,  Bjørn, It must be the  Medicago sativa

Yes, all light-situations are challenges, for approaching the subject f.i. lens-distance.  However, some light can help the desired effect you want to accomplish.

Also in that square meter field next to archaeological findings (different farms and houses about 1.200- 1.300, so 800 years old) apart from Papaver, Centaurea cyanus and Cytisus scoparius the

Tanacetum vulgare or Common Tansy.   EDIT

In the yellow picture i cannot see anything sharp at all. Maybe the flower was moving?

Yes, thanks Frank. I replaced the photo.
