Lovely..I really like this. Has a "painting" like quality to it. Would have been a great contender for the Ansel Adams challenge too in black and white.
a lovely landscape all around - the path leading us in, the beautiful cumulus clouds, the prairie with the hills behind - all well composed
the sky is a large problem in my opinion - it is splotched in an odd way - with dark spots in the upper sections of the scene - i feel these could easily be fixed with a gentle hand - and well worth it for this image
