Two rural scenes from eastern CO plains.
Went looking for something different out east.

This one is from yesterday morning north of Kit Carson.

Man, that first one is a great find. I like them both and they definately say eastern Colorado.

Both are great examples of the plains Joshua! You have shown the wide expanses in a beautiful manner. There is certainly a wealthy of material if you've got the eye to see it :cool:

I like them both but number 1 is outstanding. A real sense of seclusion and the comp is perfect. Nice job Joshua!!

Very nice. Like the clouds and the plcement of the barn in the first image. Great light as well.

Thanks everyone! I was definitely trying to covey open space and isolation by keeping the house and barn small in each shot. I lucked out on the clouds being good at both locations on a short one night, one morning photo run. Thanks again for the feedback.

These are both really nice, Joshua! I prefer #2 a bit, with the slight roll in the landscape, and not having the visible rows in the grass. Plus, I feel like that cloud moves my eye back towards the house and the earth, whereas in #1 it gets trapped up the blue sky. These definitely remind me of my longstanding but always postponed ideas of exploring the eastern New Mexico plains.

Eastern Colorado just doesn't get the attention it deserves. I think you"ve done a great job portraying it here.

Both are very nice, although I prefer the first one.
