Tractor Tracks + repost
Had a wonderful day cruising the Skagit Valley for landscapes. Daffodils now, and I did get plenty of shots of that. But this I think is one of my favorites for the pastoral, peaceful feeling that overtakes me when I'm there.

D200, 70-200/2.8 @ 120mm; f22, 1/40ss, ISO 100.

Cathrine,

I agree, very pastoral and peaceful. I like the tractor tracks leading toward the butte. The foreground feels a little heavy and without subject. I wonder what how this would have been as a horizontal to crop out more of the foreground and include more of the farmscape in the background?

I'm not totally grabbed but I like Sean's idea.

Sean, Mark: Appreciate the comments. Thanks.

hmmm... I like the vertical version... the mountain in the BG gives the tracks something more distinct to lead up to.

Either way though it's a pleasent scene, but as a photo, it doesn't capture and hold my interest.

I like the second version also. I just wish the background was sharper.
