Wow, Kathy, the low light on the flowers, grasses, and tree is really nice. Sweet comp, colors, and absolutely nothing I could suggest to improve this. :toast:

Very pleasing image : :smile: The light is great, the depth of images from the flowers to the tree makes for a very peaceful scene. Also, IMHO it is the combination of the flowers and the tree, each could stand alone, that makes this photo work. Thanks for sharing.

The low, side lighting is certainly working its magic on this scene. Nice, peaceful processing.

What a lovely and peaceful scene! Many interesting elements in this image that you have made into a great comp. The purple flowers and yellow grasses lead the eye to the old tree where one pauses to analyze the broken trunk and the fallen branches. The muted sky coloring blends in well with the rest of the scene without stealing attention from the tree and flowers. Love the soft lighting and the effect it has on this scene. :smile:
