Looks like some beautiful shrubs and wildflowers in the fg there Peter. I like the color combination of the pink sky and green field. Perhaps the level of green/yellow is a bit strong and is smothering the scene a little. Some of the other colors (reds and oranges) seem a little lost in all that green. Even so, I'm still enjoying the this lovely scene a lot.

It is a difficult image to enjoy on the web, I think the detail of the foreground must be eye-capturing in the original version... I like the way the pink tones of the sky resonate with some of the warm colors in the shrubs...

Very good wide angle shot Peter! This works very well for me. It gives me a good feeling of what this place is about. An image that describes the place, without being just a documentary shot. Very well done!

Busy scene, but the crisp detail and color contrasts hold my interest.
