I will say, Ian, although I find your work to be as creative as anyone's right now there's just something about a field full of flowers under than majestic peak with some great light in the air I can never tire of. This is a really appealing composition to me and the sky couldn't have been nicer. Sweet stuff!

A wow image for sure Ian, the force of the red eyed llama is strong in this one. I never get tired of seeing top notch photos like this, no matter where they are from. Wicked stuff.

I've seen this place before but think the light and the wonderful sky make it very attractive. Looks like a great place to trek.
Great work Ian.

I really like wildflower scenics, and this is one of the best that I've ever
seen. Thanks for sharing, Ian, and good luck in your online class en-
rollment.

Pure beauty master Ian I'm amazed by the composition and the visual flow you achieved my eyes really flow from the foreground to the background over and over again.
