I like the composition. It is simple, clean and very effective. I hate to admit it, but those colours are a tad too saturated for my liking - might just be that I very rarely find such intensely sunny days and the colours that follow with it.

Nice. I like the play of light in this photograph.

dpc, one doesn't usually think of "B.C." and desert in the same sentence. Very interesting. I love canola fields, btw, we have lots in MO and IL.

The southern Okanagan Valley, a great wine producing area, is very arid. It sports cacti, sagebrush and other attributes of what one thinks of as desert land.

Livermore Valley in California, the area between Silicon Valley and the Central Valley.

A couple from me. Before anyone asks, yes, the second picture was using in-camera HDR, to help deal with the tricky lighting conditions.

I did use a polarizer and that along with the processing made the colors look unreal but my photos have always been on the quirkier processing techniques.

Aha! Yeah, that explains the punchiness. However, I still feel bad for posting my comment with that 2nd sentence, but this way I got to know more about it, and hopefully without offending.
