A scene from on top of a mountain range looking down a narrow valley showing grassy hills. The distance shows a large valley with another mountain range in the distance.

Very nice! This photo caught my attention showing simplicity and stillness, but yet, with some sense of motion with the drop off melted ice caught in mid-air from the top plant head. I also like the 1:1 format you chose. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome! You should enter this image into some photo contests.

I love this image. It has so much happening with good composition and visual interest. What I like most is the interaction of the bicycle with the reflection and the shadow of the bicycle in the water. It would be interesting to see this converted to black and white.

The scene is within a valley showing a farm with barn and windmill on the left and a large oak tree on the right. Behind the farm are hills which are used for cattle grazing. The sky is clear.
