I grew up on a small cattle ranch/wheat farm in Montana. Though I've since become a confirmed city-slicker, the open, rich agricultural vista still echoes. Fantastic image. Hits my weak spot, just right.

Very intriguing. Love the textures you got out of the frosted(?) grass and the bokeh in the background.

Great image - the colors and textures are very pleasing of themselves, but it is a very effective story-telling image as well.

Really like the mirroring of the star patters in the building lights with the pattern of the firework. Very well done.
