Hi Colin.
Nice pic, with slash lines cutting the shot.
Nice colors, especially of the (polarized?) sky.
Well done.
Best regards.

Hello Colin! Very clever idea to include the fence. I find it personally always difficult to show vastness and I guess the fence leads us in to this grass land out there, on the other side, so beautiful and empty. Nice the bunch of clouds on one side, again on the other side of the fence. This is good work, I like it a lot. Have a good day, Barbara.

Hello Colin -

Simple yet effective in showing the wide open spaces of New Mexico. I am sure a lot of people think of New Mexico as a dry desert when in fact it has many different vegetative zones and environments. This also points out the old adage "...that the grass is greener on the other side of the fence..." I think the composition is spot on with the fence leading into the BG to explore the trees, the mountains, and the sky. Well seen and accomplished.

Thank you for sharing.

John

hi, v nice composition and contrast between the different greens. The clouds, trees and fence lead the view to the open landscape on the left.

Hi Colin
This is a fairly ordinary subject but somehow you've made it very appealing and even added a sense of intrigue. The fence adds a sense of perspective and depth, the DOF is excellent and I am left asking what exactly is the purpose and meaning of this fence?? Good colour and contrast too.
Regards, Susanna

Hello Colin,

Good landscape view with wooden fence that increase depth of your photo. I like rich tones of green under spectacular sky. Clarity, colors and sharpness are superb. Congratulations.

Best Regards,

Colin,
That huge swathe of grassland is like a sharp arrow firing into your shot. And those clouds seem to want that arrow to be reloaded. A lovely anti-clockwise shot. It just seems to keep leading...

Hello Colin,
It is a beautiful landscape and the composition is flawless!
Only one issue and that is personal, as the big black frame prevents my eyes to easily slip into the scenery...
Otherwise all elements are in the right places, and the light is magical!
Greetings,
