So much better than some of the crap in the top 20.
The accelerated "dumbing down" trend I see on voting results is indicative of the ever increasing popularity of this site - which is a shame.
Good work!

You could improve the colors IMHO but it is a great capture. I wouldn't dare to get closer ;)

I really like this as an example of an excellent landscape that doesn't need to be blindingly vibrant. The muted tones and color have an incredible range and blend smoothly, giving it an extra punch of emotion - soft and quiet. I'm a big fan of the composition, as well, although I might have added just a hair more grass at the bottom, so the verticle posts didn't seem quite so crowded against the bottom edge.

Ok, I give up. A garden rake? It's a strange perspective but somehow it kind of works.
