Hi Adam. This is an excellent landscape. Beautifully rich colours from the foreground all the way to the sky. The lighting is lovely, especially in the foreground foliage. As others have said, I agree that a tad more sky wouldn't have done any harm. Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

Very fine shot, Adam. I can almost smell those flowers! I probably would have gone for a tad more sky just to give those magnificent mountains some more breathing space.

Great composition of brilliant colors, exceptional clear day for a sharpness up to the clouds in background. The opposition of the warm colors of alive flower fields and the cold colors of inactive rocks and snow makes a great image. Regards, Renzo

On my system, you've got good exposure, contrast and saturation. The pic seems sharp from front to back and you've done a nice job of relating the flower field to the overall environment. From the composition standpoint there is no question in my mind what the subject is - the flowers. I think you have proportioned the frame nicely and there is a sense of motion leading the eye to the mountains. If there is a flaw, I think it may be that the composition is unbalanced both vertically and horizontally. More sky? Perhaps. You might try moving the "horizon" line down a bit - I don't think it would hurt the proportions of the image. What's the bottom line? Nice shot - thanks for submitting!

Very beautiful indeed! I loose interest in the dandy lions past the first bottom third of picture. The mountains don't seem to be taking much as much importance as they should. I would try a different point of view. Try lowering the camera so that the mountains meet the eye at a much lower viewpoint. Great colors and awesome sharpness!

Thanks, Nakean! So you would suggest more sky? The sky was a solid blue and I found that to be uninteresting.

I think more sky is needed. Just a bit to give the mountains some breathing room on top. Great shot though!
