Cool, I like the scene and mood. I like how the bright light in the ULC is balanced by the purple flowers in the LRC. Must see the larger version.

Beautiful. This looks like a painting and I love all the detail. I might consider darkening the upper left corner and putting a little more detail in the sky.

What a wonderful mood here, Richard! The touch of pink from those flowers adds so much. This really captures the feeling of the prairie.

Very nice work, Richard. Great light, mood, and composition. The terrain shift made me wonder at first if the horizon was slightly tilted, but I think you got it right.

Great light and fine composition, Richard. There's such a nice balance between the flowers (LR) and the bright sun (UL).

I love the way you captured the fog, soft golden beauty of the grasses. The mood of these elements combined with the flowers and bg butte for perspective and depth create a wonderful composition. Well seen and captured!
