Description I de-blued the sky a bit following opinions

Feels like we just got out of summer and the seasons are turning again in South Africa!

Beautiful morning while I was doing a workshop with a client. I didn't have time to do much in terms of composition and the light show was unbelievable all around so I was running around like a mad chicken.

Beautiful shot mate! Lovely effect from the longer shutter in the foreground, really nice texture to it. You've got some killer landscapes over there, I'm very envious!

Incredible colors, of course, but my favorite part is the motion blur

Haha, I have never heard of anyone saying "That sky is too blue." Somehow that sounds like someone hates life.

I think the blue works very well with the vibrant yellows. Very beautiful shot.

It's like something out of a fantasy landscape, this is in Africa you say? It's gorgeous!! I love sceneries like this. The way the bright yellow flowers just brighten against the fading hue of the sky looks like a sunset more than morning. And the rainbow in the background... It's really breathtaking~

I can see why you would be scrambling for a camera as well! I would be! XD

I like the shot a lot, the movement in the foreground is really nice. Got to agree with Alex about the blue sky though.

The movement of elements in a landscape through long shutter speeds is something I've been toying with lately, it's great to see it executed so well here! I love the way the tilted horizon interacts with the mountains and line of the rainbow. Those elements combined with the motion in the foreground are reminiscent of expanding lungs, it makes this photo feel like a living being to me. I would love to see this in print!

Lovely mate, I like the way you framed it, gives a feeling of motion in combination with the moving foreground flowers.

Love the motion and colours mate. On a random side note, the 'David Noton' link on your 'Resources' on your website/blog, the link is messed, you added '[link] twice which makes it go to the wrong place.

For me that sky is just too blue, but its a nice shot.

Hows the lens working out? Worth the money?
