Beautiful backlighting on those plants - great use of high contrast.

Splendid image, with a touch of humor - the cow looks amazingly alert, and the composition is great.

Personally, I find the composition quite pleasing - I like the right side being blurred, while the left is detailed - and wonderful details on that stove....

Wonderful light in this, Dan, the way it plays across her face and hat is just marvelous.

Beautiful. Love the glow on the mountain. If I had to do anything to this at all I would probably just try to lighten the top part of the sky a bit.

You always gamble when you shoot landscapes - weather, light, crowds/overly interested bystanders, long drives to reach the location, subject matter etc. - sometimes things come together. I have been at this location three times in last month and last night the light, clouds and lack of eager art directors came together.

Thanks Jorge. I think it was close to wide open?

Great shot. Again :) The DOF looks really shallow and perfect for such an image. Did you really shoot this at 5.7 ?
