choosing the 'improper' white balance was a stroke of genius .. :)

CONGRATS LARRY .!!!!.
the best of the bunch .. !! ..
a stunning photo where the white balance and minimal editing work in your favour..
and yes indeed .. nature is truly a wonderful thing ..
the owner of the field may like to see this beautiful picture .. maybe hang it on his wall .. it may have taken on a life of its own .. but they're still his children .. ;)

extremely surprised where this placed in the challenge .. when I see all the pics lined up .. by comparison .. this should definitely be on the first page .. with a ribbon ..
the improper white balance adds to the mystery and impact of this image .. :)

my small voice in the 'wilderness' is shouting congratulations on such a great image .:).
