Nice above position. The exposure seems too bright to see any detail.

The green foreground is distracting, IMO.

Nice image. Very good idea. Where was this picture taken at?? I like the different range of color and texture. Good job.

Wow! I love the perspective here. I also like how you contrasted the tones of the bush nearest you with those in the background. Too bad you weren\'t here at sunrise or sunset, or when there was more interesting light. I'm not really an expert, but years of running around in the desert did give me a few hints: First, get a polarizing filter. Then try using your smallest aperture, and in this light, don't correct for reciprocity failure. In fact, if you bracket your shots, you might even take a shot or two even more underexposed. This will give you a darker image, and it often takes out the washed out look. You can lighten the image in Photoshop easily. The result will often be an image that has a bit more \"magic\" in the light. Sorry to babble on, but your nice photo reminded me of earlier days from my photographic youth! Good luck!

Wow, lots of color here, very vibrant, good visual impact!
Certainly meets the Challenge, no doubt about it.
Composition is very good, Lighting is hard to control with midday sunlight and you've taken a good photograph for the time of day.
suggentions? none at all
