Stunning angle with a little dip in the middle. You could not have found a better quote to go along with this. Beautiful.

Contrast between the light sky and dark colors of the earth .. when the sky prevails in its bright and white streaks.

Interesting angle here. It's hard to tell whether these are trees and you are standing, or you are laying in it's high grass...
Nicely done!

I do enjoy a good sky. Whispy clouds are a fave, though I can rarely resist the urge to make them black and white. This one works well in colour.

I really hate to say this but I've left so many positive comments on your site I feel I can say what I really think with this one. I can see it in black and white and it's much better. Saturate the blues and use a red filter. Sky would have been close to black with great contrast between it and the clouds. It wouldn't be as dark as the treeline so you'd have some differentiation there.
Don't take this as a negative review for the sake of being negative. I'm not saying it's awful or anything. One of the reasons I critique is because it makes me think about my own photography.

@613photo: Thanks for your thoughts...I appreciate your comment and I will most definitely try this in black and white as my curiosity is peaked :) I am here to learn and hopefully grow, so any and all comments and critiques are appreciated.

Ahhh...nice image-I also agree with trying this one in B & W, I think it will add to the drama...

I love that quote and it goes well with this beautiful image! can't wait to see it in B&W, I agree that it would look more dramatic

Ah, Mother nature has been my mistress all these years Sharon, just don't tell my wife!
This is such a gorgeous image, and beautifully presnted in all it's colourful glory. Have a wonderful weekend

Ian from A tranquil leafy place, United Kingdom
The black and white will devalue that wonderful soft white against the blue - I mean, you even have pink in there and that's really gorgeous. I dig the colour more I think ;-)

This gives that feeling of laying in the grass on a beautiful day, staring up at the clouds. A photo with a strong emotional connection... must be good. Thanks. I needed that.

There's beauty in the simple things. It's hard not to have a spring in your step when there's a powder blue sky overhead. Thanks for sharing this :)
