 Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, Socorro, NM, USA 2/2003 Since most of my time is spent with birds, mammals and insects, I have to tell you it is with great trepidation that I even post in this gallery, but here goes.  If you were shooting this scene, what would you do to make it better? In your own mind, you would be telling yourself, "OK, I want to get this, this and this so I do this, this, and this." I told myself I wanted the clouds, the patterns on the low mountains, the texture, some diagonal lines and of course, THE COLOR. I think it's always hard to avoid cutting the image in half with the strongest line. Tried to focus about a third of the way in to get the maximum sharpness and I thought I was stopping down but my exif info says only f5.6. Digital, 28-135 @ 80, 1/1000 sec at f5.6, -1/3 exposure comp., ISO 200. Thanks in advance for any comments. I have never seen colors like this anywhere except in the southwest. It's not hard to see why people return again and again. [b]Juli Wilcox[/b]

but the tree to the left with the nicely lit brown grasses i noticed right away. I might of tried to zoom in a bit on that at a slightly lower angle if possible, for the fg as to have the tree against the mountain in the bg. Like i said, probably just me and not exactly what you were originally asking either 
I am so impressed by the variety of critiques. Thanks to each of you for your frank opinion and very helpful suggestions. Those are very much appreciated!
