Very pretty. I'm not sure about the colour of the sky, though.

Nice, but the lighting doesn't do it justice. Lower sun angle with some warmth and long, diagonal shadows would give it the dimensionality and atmosphere it could use.

Thanks for the look ... Wish I could control the hour/sun -- yes, would had been better a little earlier .... but, just driving along....its what nature had at that given moment :-)

Sometimes, what nature gives at the moment isn't really worth capturing/sharing. It may sound harsh and I mean no offence - just a friendly suggestion – but perhaps your time is better spent on images that are closer to whatever ideal you are working towards.

I know my scanning skills are better ( this was from 96 )  so I might try to see if I can achieve a quality image > on another  attempt.    Most of my shooting is for selling only.   The galleries would "suggest"   :::   what was to be a seller in the months to come = at least in their markets.  B&W galleries and the colour ones ~ representing my work. (Poppies/floral were "in" )   There were 4 us off shooting ~  on trips world wide ..all trying to get back & have images printed  for the galleries .  Of course , the market ( and most galleries ) have way changed since the 90's ..

I stuck with B&W :-)  A lot less competition among us ...

thanks for the comments ...
