Irene, images such as this often go unrewarded because they are so simple in nature. But with your low POV, excellent exposure with balanced shadows and overall tones, Perfect composition with story line in tact, make for a winner as the judges had no problem determining. #9204859Susan K.

I agree. Your low POV is excellent with perfect exposure, composition, storytelling potential. This is so well captured and edited.Family farmers grow my food. And, for the last four years, I have taken part in supporting organic farmers with my dollars and by contributing to the Center for Food Safety for litigation against the USDA for not enforcing the law.
Let's hope your farmer will not grow food with GMO's, glyphosate, 2,4-D, and dicamba or glufosinate. Because these chemicals will poison the air, soils, waters, groundwater aquifers, oceans, and all fisheries and mammals everywhere.
Personally, I support organic farmers! #9930334
