You'll ace out at the new challenge. :~)

This is so soothing. My eyes want to focus and then they relax and just soak in the gorgeous colors.

For some reason this shot make me feel claustrophobic and uncomfortable. I know! it's weird, we're out in the open but I feel like everything is closing in when I look at it. Maybe it's the blurred edges?!
I like when a shot makes me feel different things! : )

I love the overexposed look, and your treatment of it here really works. The sky and ground are obviously blown, but there's a good subtle gradient in the highlights elsewhere. Looks more like a careful high-key treatment. Very impressionistic as well.
