Real nice, Ed. It has sweet understated look to it. Very serene and a beautiful sky.

The lupines and New Hamshire have been good to you this year, Ed. Real nice quiet feel to this image. Love it.

There is a very peaceful feeling to this image. Great sky and the lupine anchor the image nicely.

Thanks for your thoughts guys. It was in fact a very peaceful morning because Mike and I had the field all to ourselves; which was quite unusual. It seems like there are always photographers there for the lupine bloom in June.

Nicely composed and timed, Ed, and excellent use of the GNDs. Exposure looks great for foreground, middle and sky. Even though the sky is attractive, personally, I'd crop some off the top (about 1/3 of the sky).

Lupine ar one of my favorite flowers and this image shows them off nicely. The rising sun and the sky create a peacefull mood that I like a lot. Well done, Ed.

Wonderful shot, Ed. nicely framed with the sun coming up in the notch between mountains. That sky is really nice, but I would probably crop just a tad from the top. devil

Thanks for your thoughts everyone. As per Scott and Mike's suggestion here is a crop with a little from the top and bottom.

I do like the cropped version better.

Beautiful sky, and I really like the slight kiss of warm light on the lupines. Nicely composed, has a very peaceful feel.
