I like this just as it is, and do not understand why it didn't place higher in the challenge results. I think that it may be that the foreground flowers being a mix of colors like they are has something disruptive about it. People seem to like bands of single colors, or layers if you call it that. It's a grand find, and excellent set up and shoot. The "Poppin' John" (J Deere) fans should like it as a print or poster.

This is a great shot although something doesn't look quite right about the flowers... maybe over use of "clarity"?? I'd like it better if the flowers looked more natural. Otherwise great composition and color with a nice human element.

What a wonderfully unique image that works amazingingly well with all the disperate components working together to create a stunning pictoral story. Only negative is the tulips look a bit over processed (topaz?) giving an otherwise brilliant image a slightly unatural apperance in the foreground. Top marks from me and good luck for the remainder of the challenge.

Very different and unigue - a solid image that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way. From an artistic standpoint, it has significant impact being richly colored with excellant detail. This image would have worked as a black and white as well. A perfect demonstration of the power of properly controlled light and focus. Well done.

Is that Mt Baker? Love the human interest in this ... the kid, the tractor, ... just fun!

What a stunning image, there is so much to look at, and even though I noticed the little boy driving the tractor last, it brought a smile to my face. Just lovely, amazing colours, unbelievable setting and excellent composition.
