I think you have captured the feel and mood of the early morning on the high plains. I like the soft dawn colors and the detail in the large view. Nice job. Chet

Nice warm tones in this Richard and a feeling of vastness. Sure wide open country there. Very nice.

You've got a terrific sky here Richard. My choice would be to have a higher view point to decompress the foreground, but it is the prairie... Because the sky is so fine, I wonder if you got something with 2/3rds sky and 1/3 ground.

The light "feels" very natural for this scene. I would crop some sky as the 50/50 seems a little static.

A wonderful wide open feel to this scene, Richard. The light and color does look natural and quite pleasing. I agree with Morris that cropping some of the sky would work well here, but still nice as is too. I think you did well capturing the open feel of the prairie!

Like this a lot Richard

I do like it as it is, but wondering what it might look like with just a small amount of fill flash for the FG. Not saying it would be better or worse, just wondering if you get another chance at this you might consider fill flash. Thanks for sharing.
