hmmm... I like what you went for, but I wish there were more separation between the last hill and the "oasis"...

Now that's a classic!! Well seen and executed my friend! I guess my only not would be to sharpen it up just a touch. Even for the www this seems a bit soft to my eye.

The different colors and patterns in the rolling hills really makes this work for me.

Cool shot. What a place to live! I wish I was heading there this weekend!

Very interesting view, especially since the access road is not visible, hidden by the mounds.
The homestead reminds me of an island in the ocean surrounded by wavey fields.

I'm sure your printed version looks/will look wonderful. These rolling grasses on the right will make for some interesting detail..
