A beautifully composed picture that upon viewing Sting's song "Fields of Gold" began playing in my head. The yellow hues of the swaying flowers dominate the scene of this composition. Part of me would like to have the flowers in the foreground in sharper focus while another part likes the soft off focus look for it adds motion to the shot. I think and feel the breeze that blows over the swaying flowers. I think the model adds visual interest as she sits and reflects in this golden field. Lastly my only critique on this piece is that I wish that she had positioned her knee to be concealed by the flowers. The reason is because it detracts from the scene in which she is surrounded by this field of flowers. The upraised knee blocks the view of the flowers behind her and breaks up the vision of her being encircled by this sea of golden beauty.

Wonderful picture - the clouds totally make this image! I’m not crazy about the horizon bisecting the picture. For this challenge, more yellow would have been better – however from an overall picture standpoint (outside of this challenge), I would have liked about 2/3rds sky. Wonderful image though – good luck! I think it will do very well.

Good quote .. the horizon isn't straight and this doesn't help an otherwise quite cool picture.

Great cat picture. Is there any way you could clone out the clog/shoe (?) that is just behind him. This is a great graphic.
