Wow i wouldn't mind framing this up in my room...its just tough pulling your eyes away from it. And the wind almost gives the hay grass a blurred effect adding to the softness...well done jono :)
I am truly amazed at the membership giving this image a measly 43 c-index rating. It deserves so much better. A successful desktop shouldn't be just a pretty picture, it needs to function properly as a destop. This photo has an austere beauty filled with pathos. It encompasses good composition in the positioning of elements and their varied textures. It's both soft and hard and includes both good detail, as in the small branches, and wide areas of solidity, as in the blonde grasses and cloudy sky. This image will allow the desktop icons to be easily located when needed and still not detract from the beauty of the image. I saw it in passing but, if I'd come across it in the voting booth, I'd have given it a much higher score. Very nice work, and ignore the c-index. If you figure out the ratio between views and downloads, it gets a 76.
