Beautiful image Stephen. Yellows against the sky work very well but it's a great comp too.

I really like the comp Steve. Nice placement of the tree and I like the plants in the FG.

Absolutely beautiful image! Just a little nit, I'd like to see you crop the dead grass out at the bottom of the image. Love the colors.

Awesome warm colors! Great composition too. When I scroll down, I like it a lot better with just a little off the bottom. Looks like you had a productive shoot on the prairie. Did you shoot the old Fox Creek schoolhouse? Now that I have a nice WA lens, I need to get down there again.

Thanks for the comments!
Angela: no I did not shoot the school house, I concentrated on the longer "backcountry" trail system.

Nice capture Stephen. I'd like to seemore of the foreground trimmed just a bit to get rid of the dead grass, but overall...it's quite lovely.
