Lovely back lighting on the flowers and having those two lupine stalks adds a fine bit of change. Well seen, captured, and processed.

Wonderful sharpness throughout and beautifully processed Daniel. The light on the fore ground flowers is super. Wonderful job on this. :toast:

A wonderful scene, Daniel. I really like the light you captured and the overall feel this has. Nice work on the processing as well. :smile:

Lovely light on those flowers, Daniel. Something about the colors/contrasts seems a little off to me though. I can't quite put my finger on it, but might be that the colors appear a little green, and I think the contrast in the highlights might be a little strong - that is the darker tones of the brighter areas of the image seem a little too dark.. I think.

The light on the flowers is fantastic, Daniel. IMVHO, the sun flare is a distraction. My 2-cents.

Best wishes,
Carol

Beautiful light on the flowers in the foreground. I'm not quiet sure about the colors in the sky.....

Lovely shot Daniel, comp wise this is excellent. I find the image a little "green", but maybe that's me. Also perhaps recovering some of the highlights in the sky will help.

Last year? I'd have posted this a long time ago. :smile:

Sweet light you captured Daniel. I do wish that very foreground flower was looking up just a bit more.

I love everything about this image - such great colors, lighting and textures. I also like how some of the flowers face the viewer while others face away.

Beautiful image Daniel. I really like how you included the sunstar here. I really need to check this area out. I've spent most of my time over in the Rowena area, but haven't made it to Memaloose yet.
