I love saturated orange and misty look of your photo. I the image is appealing not only for it colours but also for its balance. The only thing I think that could be improved is the removal of out of focus diagonal pointing towards the Sun. This cause my eyes to distract from the image as a whole.
Thanks for sharing

The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means, and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again, since it is life.

I agree...great color.I would clone out that blade of grass,add a touch of contrast, maybe sharpen a tiny bit...not much.Good eye,very well composed. Welcome to PR.

b.t.w I bought a S1iS back when they were new, these "S" series canons are great cameras.

Thank you guys

It's a pleasure to be here and meet you and I appreciate your comments a lot, especially that little bit about the composition Rick - you made my day man - cheers

Yeah, I did wonder about that out of focus diagonal alright Frans and sure I'll work on it later (maybe) and post an edit or two soon as I'm done ;)

Oh yeah - I love my S3 Rick, it's not great (can't for the life of me catch a decent shot of The Moon for instance) but it sure is GOOD! If you can get by without using the flash you'll almost always grab a good shot ;)
