Don't really think this will score well. I was really unsure of which to submit for this...Alternate is here
I didn't even want to get a landscape for this originally, but my original idea fell through and I took these shots hours before the deadline and figured I wanted to get something in. Personally, I like the alternate more. This time, out of curiosity, I went with the photo that elicited a more positive response from the various folks I asked. This is a bit of an experiment for the voting body from my side.
Editing was very quick, Silver Efex Pro and getting rid of dust spots. No dodging or burning. The light on the grasses was just perfect and coming from the right so nothing needed to boost their prominence.
