My first challenge. Was out of town for the weekend and had to make use of the scenery in Southern Illinois. Great weather. Very light editing. No crop. Boosted saturation slightly to +5 even though it was already colorful. That's about it.

This should have scored higher..but you have a great finish. Especially for your first challenge, wow! You should see some of my entries that have tanked...haha. I love the angle here and how I feel drawn into the image...Great job!!
Great colors and composition. I love all of it. It a great cropped photograph. Leaves enough for you to delight in the nature and yet keeps you intrigued to want to see more because of the colors and definition. Great Job!
