Nice colorful grand scene, Ben. I really like the feeling of the broad expanse and depth. ---

Nice pano. I love the swath of color against the cool sky. -P ---

Ben, The pano format works very well here and the swath of warm color contrasts very nicely with the cool tones of the cloudy sky. Are these tulips? ---

Love the pano format and “streaks” of color in the landscape. The streaks of color from the tulips almost resemble the light trails you see from moving car lights seen in night-time long exposure images. ---

I really like the colors and the pano composition. The barn and the farm machinery help ground this for me. At first glance, it looked like light trails. It’s a lovely scene and what a treat for you to get new colors regularly. I assume it’s a tulip farm or something? ML ---
