Whoops, forgot to update the details and title. I had a different, less powerful shot at first under this title, and meant to find something different. Luckily it still seems to work out.
This is a park near my house that I have gotten a number of great photos from. I really liked how the clouds were playing against the colors of the countryside.

A tad picky but I would have cropped a tiny bit from the bottom to remove the grass overlapping the water. I feel that would just help the eye flow along the water, but at the moment that clump of grass breaks the flow. Nice range of tones and saturation though.
