The horizon in the first shot is quite skewed to the left, and the prickle bush is not that interesting of a focal point.
The second shot, despite being dead centre has some very interesting post processing. Has that feeling of isolation. Nos an modica tantum nostri somnium "We are limited only by our imagination"

I like #1 - a nice sense of the rushing prairie an envionment that people not familiar with it find static. I am a Prairie boy - it works for me. #2 feels oversharpened and glaring - it may be just my personal tastes but overshapening makes me feel jangly - that works in some photos, I know.

What are your thoughts Don? Do you agree? disagree?

Well Jerry to be honest, I tilted the horizon on purpose to add instability. There are patterns of movement from the wind in the grass. To me it looks very dynamic. I thought the sticker bush was a very interesting foreground.
It is very valuable to hear different viewpoints though and I appreciate your critique. I don't think thwe second photo is as good as the first but I tried to give it a burnished bronze look. --Don Nikon D3100 with Tokina 28-70mm f3.5, (I like to use a Vivitar .43x aux on the 28-70mm Tokina), Nikkor 10.5 mm fisheye, Quanteray 70-300mm f4.5, ProOptic 500 mm f6.3 mirror lens. http://donschaefferphoto.blogspot.com/

Perfect! Commentary is refreshing. I went back and looked at it from a different perspective.

I think #1 is a beautiful picture. I like the green and golden colors, and the detail in the grass. I like also the treatment you did in the picture. The bush is interesting to me because of the place it takes in the picture and the post-processing.
If that picture would be mine, I would try to add some canvas texture, to make it look like a painting. I don't know, I don't normally do this to my pictures, but this one has a special mood and I would try that. About the horizon I like it as it is. Lovely picture, Don.
