Gorman Hill, CA
It was quite windy las week when
I photographed at Gorman Hill.
I liked the way the Lupine bushes
punctuated the hillside as well as
the other random splotches of color.
Your comments/critiques are welcome.
Thank you.

Hi Robert.

You have some excellent colors in this one, but overall, I am not finding the composition is working all that well for me. I find the tree kind of half in, half out of the scene and the dark bushes bottom left are pulling my eye a bit down that direction. I like the random patches of color on the hillside at the top of the frame. They have a nice abstract look to them.

Robert,
I really like the scattered blue in the background. As Harley has mentioned, a little more room on the bottom may have been nice. The wind has been an issue lately.

Detail, colors, and patterns are so eye catching. Great eye to catch this scene. I'll agree with the others that I'd prefer a bit more room on the bottom.
