I really liked the depth and the shadows in this shot, I loved the rolling of the mountains and the slight splash of color in the forground to catch your eye. Congrats on your Honorable Mention.

Nice..but Border is a Spoiler..A proper border would have made me give 10..now..Have a 8..
Really buddy was a nice shot..it never required such distracting borders..

Great tones in the dirt, set off nicely by the blue sky. I'm feeling the border is a little heavy but no points off for that.

You definitely show the Painted Hills in a painterly way. I bet it was hot while you were there.

Well done, love the composition and it's natural bend of color.

Beautiful sculpted feel. It looks like you may have had direct, or semi direct sunlight, but it doesn't seem harsh. Well done!
