I like the first one a bit more than the second, while both are beautiful.
The foreground colors in first appear much more rich and adds to the overall scene. Perhaps its because of the dark grass and the light ones.
However, the transition from the bottom of the screen to the top, looses this saturation quite a bit. This to me is a bit distracting. Great shots though.
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Anand. I agree with you on image #1 but was afraid to bump the vibrance / saturation for fear of over-doing-it... Jim

Two really fine images, Jim.
And the first is almost richly colored and contrasty enough for freaks like me .

Thank you Charlie... I am an old school Velvia lover so tons of saturation are my thing. Hopefully I kept it realistic enough for the traditionalist. Jim

Classic Palouse here. It is really green out there. They don't need to irrigate and this is top grade soil fed by volcanos.
Ben; We had rain last night, this morning and several times during the day. I have never seen so many shades of green in nature. Beautiful, fertile farmland.. Thank you, Jim

Jim- I said "almost."
When Velvia first came out I tried it for awhile, but didn't like what it did to greens- so I went right back to Kodachrome 64.
