Long exposure Lupines...
I returned to the field I posted on ES&S last night and got two shots I think work pretty well.

I'm not sure that this is processes as well as it could be. It feels heavy on the greens/yellows despite the fact that I desaturated ALOT in that channel. Also the middle ground seems a bit dark.

Thoughts on the shot always appreciated!

Canon 20D w/Sigma 18-200
13 Seconds @ F14
ISO 100
3 Stop ND
3 Stops GND

Jim,
This looks OK to me although I would prefer it to be bit brighter on the flowers. Look like a great job choosing the filters. The sky appears to be similiar brightness as the trees and field and I'm it was somewhat brighter.

I really like the effect the exposure time had on the clouds!

Thanks Jim,
I feel the same way about it, couldn't quite nail down what wasn't right about it, but I think it's the foreground/sky balance. I think I can go back to the raw and get this right?!?!?!
