A meadow in the Wenas Valley of Central Washington with a nice blend of Balsamroot and Lupine and the odd Poneroza Pine here and there.

Taken with Canon 5dMKII and 16-35 F2.8

Those lupines really pop Mike. Wish you posted a larger version!

Wonderful wildflower fields. The colors pop and compliment each other well. To be super picky, the bare patches of ground to the right are a little distracting and stand out compared to the vibrant greens and flowers surrounding. Always difficult to "hide" these kinds of flaws with camera positioning. The sky blues/cyans seem a bit too electric for my tastes but they do grab my attention. Great location.

Gorgeous scene here, Mike. Really nice to see your work again here on NPN. No nits or suggestions for change on this fine capture. :cool:

I really like the feel of this image. The colors are great, the tree gives interest to the background and the clouds add a very nice finishing touch.

Great looking sky and the light is perfect for bringing out the rich colors of the wildflowers, Mike. To bad about those couple of bare patches, nothing you could do about that though.

Beautiful image Mike. The saturation is a little high for my tasted, but certainly withing the realm of personal interpretation. Great set of clouds to compliment and echo the floral arrangement.

A beautiful image, comp and capture Mike... no doubt. Just a bit too "saturated" for my tastes, but that's just me. (Oops, and I didn't even read Lon's post before me until afterwards.)
