I like the big-sky feeling this image has. Good, natural processing.

nice sky in this image Richard, maybe a little more space from the bottom would be better

It all looks very natural. Like I'm standing in the middle of the prairie here. Nicely done.

Hills, prairie and big sky all give a good sense of the western prairie lands. The color here is very natural and you captured a wonderful sky. nice work. Chet

Real sweet sky. I might like a bit more foreground, but it works nicely as presented.

What a wonderful sky with it's intermittent cloud cover and beautiful textures. A 50/50 comp might have emphasized the sweep of the sky a bit more but this is terrific as is.

Beautiful prairie sky, Richard. I like your comp., which really emphasizes the sky but includes enough foreground to show the prairie and the steep rise of the bluffs.
