I haven't got a clue why this one didn't win! Excellent use of rule of thirds. The others have a lot of blank space with the subject in the rule of thirds....this one goes one step further and gives you a full image that is interesting to look at, not just the subject in the rule of thirds.

That's a sharp lens you have there:)

I really like the composition and exposure is spot on. The foreground focus is superb with the grasses in clean focus and the BG nicely blurring gradually.

I can see why this got 6th place. Look forward to seeing more shot with this lens.
