South Dakota Summer
Contest Number: 39 Contest Theme: Your Best Shot Camera: K20D Shutter Speed: 1/125s Aperture: F5.6

Just driving down the road on the way home from a dinosaur dig (a really cool story in and of itself).

Took this shot from the shoulder of the road. Had to leave out a lot of the beautiful lake in the mid-ground to make room for the beautiful flowers in the foreground.

Lesson learned - be willing to stop and take that shot!

A good shot to have taken.
A few things from me:
The HDR effect is a little overdone, particularly evident in the clouds and the blue sky.
The foreground lacks punch due to its relative dullness and low contrast.
The arrangement of the daisies at the bottom of the frame is a touch too far along the edges, seeing as though they form an important part of the foreground.
But the rolling hills and clean green landscape - two thumbs up!
