Big time thank you to Michael Deleon for the heads-up on the Jefferson County Open Space wildflowers. I returned to this area the morning after the sunset pic I posted this weekend. The warm low angle sunlight really brought out some nice colors.

Doug, fabulous lighting. Excellent choice of including the FG purple flowers (I'm a complete idiot on names to flora). My only nit on the comp is I would have liked a lower angle that would have included a bit more of the base of those flowers and that might have blocked the dandelions (okay - I can identify the weed that shows up in my lawn apparently). :biggrin:

That light is sweet; the trees really show it off. I think I agree with Steve... the purple flowers seem a bit separated from the top of the scene. Perhaps a crop of just the top 2/3s would look nice too.
