Fantastic image! I love those spires!

Nice image. I love the sky!

Boy, you got that right. I guess I was overly optimistic with this one.

Glad you like it Younes. I have never before seen a field of wildflowers as prisitine as this, so for me this shot is pretty special.

Thanks very much for the comments everyone!

Nancy-It is a hill. If you look at the upper right corner, the trees tilt the other way. Also, the flowers on the right slant slightly to the right, so I am not getting the same feeling as you on this one. I shot this field from many different angles and liked this one the best. I felt that the round hilltop and slightly tilted trees added some interest, as opposed to the takes with a straight horizon and straight trees . Not for everyone I know, but personally it is one of my favorites-I have never before seen such a prisitine field of wildflowers.

Hey two 4's, don't be shy. Please write a critique and explain to me what you think might help bump this image up past the Average/Fair category. One of the main reasons I post my images on the web is to get feedback.

Nice image with some really interesting elements. If it were mine, I might darken the foreground a bit, and most of the white water as well.

A few weeks ago I found the most amazing field of wildflowers and was

able to take some misty shots of it at sunrise. Comments are very

welcome. Thanks for looking! Chip

Love the mood here! Well done.

Beautiful reflections!

One of your best! Chip

You have some nice light here, and I really like the rays coming out of the clouds. One thing that catches my eye a bit is the fact that the clouds in the hdr didn't quite line up correctly. I don't do hdrs myself, but I know this is a problem with them when you have clouds. It also looks as if there are some spots in the sky....

Thanks very much for your comments!! I am kind of surprised by the ratings this time around. Lots of 4's and 5's?? My last post of this image, distracting elements in tact, brought in mostly 7's.....Maybe I should have left it. I like this rework better personally, and this is one of my favorite images. Hmm....Am I missing something here?

Thanks for the rating anonymous. Please tell me what you think might help pull this image out of the "average, fair" category. I really appreciate comments for lower ratings.

This is one of my favorites from last spring. I've made a few minor

adjustments. Comments are much appreciated. Thanks for looking! Chip

Well done Lalit! I love the lighting and that field of flowers looks endless. Thanks for your opinion on my Tipsoo Lake image. It looked ok on black, but I think I agree with you.

Nice work! I like the curve of the river(wish I could see even more of it), and the calm water+deep color.

Nice one Younes. I like this composition a lot. Nice moody image!

Thanks very much for your comments everyone!

Thanks very much!!!

I shot this image from Steptoe Butte, just outside of Oaksdale Wa. in the Palouse.

Love the backlighting!!

Comments are very welcome. Thanks for looking! Chip

Beautiful work Guy, as I have said before on NPN. I just love the bright warm quality. Chip

Beautiful, as I have said before. I just love the combination of green and orange, and of course all of the other obvious factors that make this a real joy to look at.

Very nice image. I love the lighting. The focus seems just a bit soft to me.
