I enjoyed the wildflower display in Carson Pass
two weeks ago. I appreciate your critiques.

Robert, this is extremely nice. I think your overall time of day capture hits this site perfectly. The scene provides some nice contrast between the highlights and shadows. Not a big fan of cropping myself in many cases, however, I do find maybe just a slight bottom crop here might work out nicely. Possibly just up to the very bottoms of the first lupine group on the left. :cool:

Robert,

I like the composition of this, but do agree with Paul's suggestion for the crop. Also, you might try to take a little of the blue and cyan out of the snow in the shade and lighten the sky just a bit. I love all the flowers and they they be accentauted, in my opinion. You did a good job in some tough light.

Looks even better after the rework IMO, Robert.
