I know it's low contrast, but that's just kind of how I roll ;)

Let me know what you think.

An extraordinary tour de force of composition.

Look how the main diagonal starts a fifth of the way up the left edge and rumbles across the picture to exit a fifth of the way down the right edge. The big shadow areas takes a fifth of the picture space as does the sky. And there is plenty more to find by just looking. Bach could set this to music.

It's highly engaging - I'm really liking this.

I get the feeling there's a kind of precision in the way you set this up - there's a deliberate sense about how everything seems to fit together so neatly.

Now that makes sense. The low saturation and contrast does the job nicely. Reminds me of what a ****ing mess we can make of things if we put our mind to it, all in the name of fun, a highly over-rated pursuit if I say so.
I knew you could give me something I could understand, Shawn.

Shawn,

The three-dimensional drawing of the hills defies your attempts at flattening, even by reducing saturation and claims of decreased contrast. This contrast is built it too organically to crush! The land, here, appears like some tortured beast! Anyway, it demonstrates the consequences of "fun" as Tom reminds us!
