I like the simple beauty here with the scattered wildflowers making a nice arc into the distance and all of the different greens. This was clearly taken in the middle of the day, which has me wondering what it would look like under different lighting conditions. I would like to see more separation between the main tree on the right and the small tree halfway up the hill behind it, a few steps to the right might have solved that. It does look like a wonderful day to be out.

It looks more like a serene summer's day. Very inviting. I'd like to see the same scene with the sun closer to the horizon - either a few hours earlier or later. But still, a very nice shot as is.

I also like your composition and the colors, but I also think that shooting this same scene with the sun low and from behind you would really improve it.

This is a great looking site, Nuno. I really like the composition and colors. If possible I would revisit the site under less direct lighting for a softer look. Regardless, a nice capture here. :cool:
