Wow, that must be so impressive to see in person! Wonderful rolling hills of blue flowers interspersed with lovely green grass and trees. The random red flowers add some quirky interest. Great comp although I might have been tempted to crop a little more up from the bottom to get rid of some of the OOF flowers. Nice lighting on this and perfect for the theme, Rick!

Nice capture of the Blue Bonnet fields, Rick. I was there earlier in the year when there weren't near as many blooms but it was still impressive. I like the contrast in the first version but the saturation is just a tiny bit strong. The second one is almost too bright and not as striking because of less contrast although the saturation is closer to reality. Somewhere between the two would be perfect for my eyes. I also like your choice of composition in this photo.
