A very appealing image Joseph. Looks like you caught the lupines just in time. ;]

Joseph,

Just beautiful and very refreshing. The luminance in the FG is what first catches my eye and then the sky.

Great overall scene Joe. You guys are really great with the clouds. I like the inclusion of the mountain in the background.

Wonderful, Joseph! The sky is complementary, and I like the inclusion
of the moutain in the background. The image is light and almost pastelish
on my monitor which I like. I can't think of anyway to improve this composition.
Well done.

Maybe it was a cloud shadow, but the flowers in the middle center seem dark. Blocks the flow ever so slightly in this marvelous comp with stunning color and a great sky! You do my state so darn well!

I like the perspective created by the wide angle lens. It brings you right in there.

Even though the mountain is playing a minor role here (smaller than I would envision) I like it just as is! Nice soft lighting.

Lovely shot, Joe. I might be tempted to brighten the center of the image a hint to get the brightness of the lupines up the the other ones.
