Truly beautiful. I like the way the sun's rays are reaching out to the field of golden rod. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful image Brad, expertly composed. I like the down-up-down curve of the hills at top. If this was a blend, I can't tell.

A wonderful display of golden! The sunburst really is outstanding!

Nice capture, Brad.

Just wondering, do you do much tinkering with photos. If the larger heads of the goldenrod were brightened slightly, would that balance the sun.

I'm not familiar with PS but Nikon's Capture NX2 will allow manipulation of areas.

After the dreary weather we've been having lately, that really hits the spot. It looks like a nice pleasant late summer evening.

Thanks for sharing

I like this photo. I left Kansas before the nature photography bug bit. But, I remember just how beautiful the Flint Hills were and this photo brings back memories.
