Thank you very much for your kind words that some of my photographs had inspired you to try it yourself. Inspiration is a big part of my love for photography. Many people have and do inspire me to work, improve and try different things in this art. I do think that some of my most personal inspiration comes when I'm out in place like the Flint Hills by myself and open my thoughts up and literally get lost in the beauty around me. I've realized lately that It can take place anywhere, my backyard or the wonders of places like Arkansas or South Carolina that I visited recently.
I can look at your photograph right now and wish I was there, so you to my friend have inspired ME.
Wonderful job Ken and thanks for sharing more beauty from one of the most pristine Tall Grass Prairies in North America, The Flint Hills.
Beautiful shot, Ken. Makes me want to be there too! Really nice, warm afternoon light on the flowers and rocks. And the sky is gorgeous. Keep 'em coming...

Very nice Ken, I like the light in the foreground and the sky has some nice detail too. I think there's another good comp here if you were to crop out most of the sky to focus more attention to the indigo & rocks. Nicely seen and done in any event. Have a great weekend!
I think I understand why you included so much of the sky, and I would have tried to work out a way to include the full moon in the image as well. Still, a version cropped as Wayne suggested I think turns out to be a stronger image, and everything that makes this a beautiful shot is emphasized all the more that way; the flowers, the rocks, and the horizon all snap together into a cohesive whole.
And then I look back at the original image and start to miss all the room of the big sky.

4 repliesThe Blue and Cream Indigo are everywhere, and soon the Butterflyweed will be the predominant showy flower. I can't wait.
Thanks for looking.
