Hey Tony,

This is just beautiful. I have rated it as follows:

Composition/use of frame space = 4

I would have gone with a 5 because I think the framing is really excellent. My only two gripes are that I feel that some of the sunflowers look 'tired' that are prominantly featured in the image. Also, the top flower is chopped off at the top - though the over-all composition does not suffer.

Colors/White Balance = 4 - 5
Really great colors. I wish that they could be just slightly pumped up to pull out those beautiful rich yellows - though honestly, it is a quibble.

Exposure = 5
Just beautiful. It looks perfect.

Creative use of Aperture/Shutter = 5
Perfect.

Perspective = 5
Great job bringing the whole image together in the space given. It really compresses into something rather beautiful.

Creativity = 5
The composition, missing any one of the elements would probably make a nice image. Putting them together in the way that it is done was masterful.

Emotion – 5
This image calls to me in a way that I find is unique for many landscapes. It was very cleverly done.

Forethought/Visualization = 4 - 5
The frame is so nicely put together that it is hard to believe that there was not a lot of thought about the image prior to putting on to media. Again, I wish that some of the sunflowers on the top center of the frame and top right were not missing so many petals - but that could add to the 'real sense' of the piece as well.

Post processing - 4
I was going to take a pass on this. I think that it looks just a slight bit muted on my monitor...however, I realize that there are differences in calibration that may make this a perfect 5.
