Description A new day burns into being
with the promise of more heat
the land lies dusty and accepting
water a forgotten memory
not even a mirage

ok. it was a hard decision to make but i like this one best because of the detail, clarity, and color. Blowing in the wind is a great photo, especially considering the colors, but its symmetry and not lack of detail but i guess the angle hides a lot of the blades of the windmill (?). i hope you get what i'm saying. anyway... this is my favorite

Stiched (due to the horizon)? Independent of that, the perspective and motive is really great! A minor detail that really deserves praise: you placed the boring part of the "tower" (sorry, don't know the name) so that it was with the plains as background, while the interesting part of it, has the sky as background. These small details are sometimes done wrong and I think that it is also in great part what makes this a great shot!

Aha is that what I did right.. instinct and experience in framing it....Its a 7 frame hugin stitch and I am going to swot up on removing the curvature

gorgeous. love that the landscape seems to curve as well... or is it just a lense effect? either way it flows beautifully and it's very, very pretty. ^_^
