I would have liked to see the unecessary elements cropped out (sky, mountains, etc)

Quite pretty - but just quite, to my eye. Could use more saturation, and possibly contrast in the foreground areas to give it some bite; and the sky lacks a little drama. That's in DPC terms, of course: I'd say this is a good honest (ie not over-dramatised in processing) photograph, and deserves to score better than it will. Do have a slight feeling that it might have benefitted from a touch of final sharpening for the presentation here - but that's almost just a matter of taste.

You need more of a subject to make this pop. The patterns on the ground just aren't quite enough by themselves.

Love it.
Unlike alot of the other entries in this 'expert editing' challenge, this doesn't abuse that liberty.
It's real, it has strength and it's a great shot.
Well done.
