Grasslands National Park, Canada. Feedback welcome.

This is not what I expected from a region named Grasslands. It portrays a harsh aspect of an otherwise lush, green landscape.

My thought is that there is a bit too much foreground and the hill in the background is diminished.

I agree with rpsphoto on the "bit too much foreground": I would crop a little to cut out the bottom part of the image (in a way that the shadow in the foreground falls very very little outside the frame).

The eye tends to wander around the scene without settling on something that can be construed as a focal point. You need a large plant for the eye to fall upon. I agree about too much foreground.

You could try to crop it square and loose the foreground.

Thanks for the feedback. I have a couple of these types of shots and you have confirmed my own doubts. I was aiming for context.
