Very nice. Great time of day to get the most out of the reds. The shadow of the pail occupies just a little more space than I would like. I was born in Tulsa, but moved three days after, to a geologically minded father who often spoke of the red mud but did not mention the iron in the soil.
Another original take on the challenge. Not only did you interpret the challenge nicely, you photographed it beautifully, taking advantage of the low sun angle to get rich colors. Good one!

The composition in this photo doesn't do much for me,,,,I can appreciate the shapes of the objects as well as the textures...but it might be the lighting that puts me off...I am not sure..
Old Cherokee legend the rocks are the blood of the braves and the tears those who made the "Trail of Tears" to Oklahoma. I did a big part of my growing up in that soil.
