I like how the comp is divided in 3 parts. Nice detail in the fg grasses, leading one into the image.

I like the color, but have a hard time finding a focus. The reds might benefit from a bit more contrast.

Interesting comments about saturation and contrast as I was thinking the same thing. I process in Lightroom and they look nice there but when I export to PS for sharpening and web output I lose quite a bit. Converting from ProPhoto RGB color space to sRGB and 16-bit to 8-bit has something to do with it but if anyone has any suggestions on how to avoid or minimize losing sat and contrast I'ld love to hear it.

after you do your sharpening just re sat....that is usually what has to be done.....I like the detail in this and I would bet it looks great large!!! :toast:
