John Day Fossil Beds NM, Painted Hills Unit. More to come in the series. Can't wait to go back when I have time to hike the trails.

Panasonic Lumix GH-3, Lumix G Vario 35-100, cpl; f9, 1/125, -0.33EV.

Thanks for viewing, but better if you can make it there yourself!

Love the soft colors and shapes. Is the foreground slightly overexposed or is it just me?

I am really liking the understated colors and the shapes and lines. This turned out really well.

Beautiful banding and very nice color. I'd like to see just a bit more of the hill top in the middle but it's only a personal preference. Lovely composition.

I think the repost is an improvement. Interesting mix of colors with the hills and FG. The soft feel to the image works for me.

Catherine, I think the repost is the ticket here. The colors throughout make the scene work so well, especially the the color in the soft rolling hillsides. This is a location I hope to see and photograph some day.

Catherine, this is a very nice image of a really remarkable place. The is subtle and gives a nice set of tones. My wife and I visited these hills about a month ago and enjoyed it very much. Again, nice job! Chet

This is great, Catherine. I think you nailed it with the repost. I really love the shapes and colors in this scene and the soft light is perfect for showcasing them.

Wow, this makes a wonderful first impression Catherine!
Love the distinctive rust reds & layered patterns of those hills, great contrast to FG.
Looks very nice to me as posted, well done!

Catherine,

The repost is a big improvement here. I think you did a great job incorporating the landscape and vegetation with the painted hills; gives the viewer context. It's also nice to see a view from the bottom, rather than the classic overlook type view.
