Some of the FG flowers were past prime, but I took what I could get.

This stand of lupines looks great, Michael.  The gentle lighting lets all of the setting show very well.  The scattering of orange hawk bit flowers are a great addition, with the fence tying the view together very well.  If I want to be really picky, I'll say clone out the spent bloom and it's pink companion in the center bottom.  This looks like a wall hanger to me.

Beautiful - perfect perspective and comp, sweet light, great colours that work well together, and the old gray fence adds a lot of interest. Lots of great elements here. 
Well-done!

I remember this well from our trip last June. Mike. I liked it then and even more so now. The light here is outstanding and the diagonal split rail fence is perfectly placed. Of course the lupines look great and I love the character of the BG tree. My only suggestion; and this is being super picky; would be to clone out the one pink flower along the bottom center edge. This is a perfect entry for the WC.
