post-challenge:
thanks for the comments. actually meant to swap this out for another, since it was kind of similar to my elements entry (tho that was take a week or so later in a different location). Still, I like it.
I was going for the soft color sky and muted tones here, as a balance to the golden fields.
Dr Confuser is right -- its difficult to shoot grasslands; all those beautiful wavy leaves of grass blowing in the wind often turn into jaggy lines when frozen in a picture. This one was shot around 3 p.m. on a short hike (really a stroll) with my 8 year old on the edge of a city park near my house ... late enough for the light to give some definition to the hills, but not late enough for it to really make the image pop.

| Nice picture but the frame is a bit much (too thick). |

| I have tried to take similar photos (maybe in a nearby place) and found it very difficult to capture what my eye sees or the feeling I have looking at the scene. Maybe ty it early in the morning, or late in the day? |

I think you could have gotten away with really pushing on the blues in the sky and the lake to help balance the colors a bit, the yellow gold is overpowering

| Needs more blue IMO. The sky is a little plain and just needs more color. |

| Beautiful. I can't decide if the stick on the right hand side of the frame is a distraction or a balance for the bush. Interesting composition. |

| It looks a bit washed out to me. Relaxing scene, though. |
