Thanks for all the great comments! To crop close, or show the wider view is always a tough choice. Anymore comments would be appreciated! I chose to show the total scene because of the variety of colors. Anyone with opinions why the entire view should be used, please post here! TY
For me a much closer shot of the main subject with less surrounding landscape would have made a much stronger entry for this challenge. I think you would have had a much more dominate brown subject.
