I like the "hand of man" in the first pic. I do agree there is a bit too much sky. However, I bet an alternative energy company would love this pic as it really promotes a green and clean energy image. Really enjoying the field of lupines. Nice job on both.
Great photos- yes the windmills (hand of man) destroys the "Nature" image but also shows the area as it is in the Spring - soon those hills will be dry & brown - I feel they do belong in the photo as it was taken. Yes some croping of the sky may help. Harvey
