Mark Aksoy	This is a well-done mountain scenic.  It has a strong foreground (lupine) as well as background (mountains), and both are sharp since you shot at f8.  I think a light-colored border would make the image even stronger.

Bob Barley	Nice scene. Nice colors in the Lupines. I can understand why you were drawn to the scene. Exposure can be a compromise in midday situations. In this case, the mountains lose detail since they are slightly over-exposed and the Lupines are slightly underexposed. I suppose this was an opportunity to use a graduated ND filter, either on the camera or applied in post-process. That also might have allowed for a bit more contrast and saturation to make the Lupines really pop. Nice shot.

Margaret Boike	Nice clear photo of the mountains. Do you have/use photo editing software? I think the flowers would look better if you could remove the light colored dead flower stalks and blades of grass scattered among the flowers. They're a very nice shade of blue - so pretty.

Rich Krebs- Biography     I graduated from Grove City College a long time ago with a BS ME degree. I joined the Navy thru OCS and was assigned a ship in Norfolk, VA. After my tour there, I went to a ship homeported in Yokosuka, Japan. After PG school in Monterey, Vietnam and Washington tours, I got off of active duty and stayed in the Naval Reserve for another 20 years, retiring in 1991. After I got out of the Navy, I had positions with defense companies or the government in Annapolis, Md, Fort Meade, Md, Greenville, Tx, St. Louis and finally Colorado, where I retired from IBM in June 2006.  I was a Project Manager.      I have been taking pictures since college using a point and shoot film camera. I started taking photos with SLR's in the Navy when I went to Japan. I changed to digital in the 1990's and a DSLR last year. I take landscapes, animals, birds, travel photos. I have thousands of slides and prints from the Navy tours to Japan, Europe, Vietnam and our own travels. Now I am strictly digital and have quite a few pictures saved and online.
