I haven't entered anything in a while, and I miss checking in on my low scores! Whatever the score ends up being, when I see this shot I will remember that it was taken on a wonderful, fun day spent fishing with my son and a friend. (Even though no one caught any fish!)

Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two now and I'm running late, sorry.
Okay, I actually had to stop and think on this photo. I really like these kinds of shots, however this one did "pop. I know why , at least for me, it didn't. I would have liked to see more clarity in the background, beyond the tree and road itself. To the treeline along the north 40. And the sky just sort of sits there, it doesn't .....it looks flat to me. I'm sorry. 6
