This picture was taken outside Denver Colorado. I adjusted the color balance, adjusted the curves, and softened it just a bit. This is my first submission to DP Challenge.

Jason - I really enjoyed this image. The first thing that hit me was the glow it seems to have. Honestly, that was the reason I selected this as a favorite...I wanted to be able to find it after the challenge and see what you had done in post-processing to get that effect.
The funny thing is - I didn't notice the artifacts the first time around and I think that says something. Either I have a poor eye for the details and just missed it - or - (most likely) I got swept up in the image as art for what it is. In retrospect I agree with some of the commenters in that the image would be better without the haloing artifacts, especially if you were to try and sell this as a print.
As for differenct perspectives, angles, etc...you know what you had to work with and I think it is composed quite effectively. Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing what else you come up with in the future.
Good find, but I think there's so much more potential to this picture. Not everyone's thrilled with the idea of lying on their back in the weeds to shoot from a different perspective, but I think that would have added a lot to this shot.
Wow! I love this photo! It just grabs me. I love the scene, and the colors of the time of day, and the grass blowing in the breeze. This is one of my favorites in this challenge. 10
