Great capture Roxanne, glad it was a path among the fields that you both were driving on. Your must have a large potato production business, not like the garden size I grew up with. Love the view... #933877

Roxanne- Good evening my dear friend. And they talk about cell phones dangerous while your driving. Just be careful my dear friend. I dont want to see a picture of a tree where your hood ornament should be.
Even on the run driving over a dirt road you can take marvelous pictures. They could use you on wild kingdom.
The presentation is so beautiful. I see a winner here as far as I'm concerned. The look is artful. Composition is fabulous following that truck down the dirt road. Marvelous depth also. The picture seems to go on forever and takes us though some scenic country sides. From the lighting it looks as if it was a most wonderful and sunny day to plant potato's. The picture, especially under the conditions taken, is so clear and sharp. Colors that are just so rich and vibrant. Love the wonderful variety of colors you brought out. Then there is the details. The grass, the dandelions, even that little puddle in the road, the trees, the truck, the buildings, the hills and then you cap it all off with that amazing sky. Everything defined with perfection.
Excellent and outstanding work
Have a peaceful night, a joyfull tomorrow, take care, be safe out there my friend. #6024507
