Roll in the hay

[senna916]

Drove fast this field about 4 times this morning in the search for the illusive Buzzards then decided to go back and take a pic, had a strange appeal for some reason.

Great pictures of old straw bales that have been left out, I have never thought of taking any of these and I have loads being farmers:shrug:

Straw bales make great subjects for pictures. These are stray - not hay! The picture is a little flat - needs a bit of zap!

I know, but a "Roll in the straw" had no ring to it
The agree it needs a zap of something.

Try a slight increase in contrast and up the saturation?

It's now got zap, is it too much ?

 

[awp]

yes - just a tad too much - you've got artifacts in the sky. Looks a little un-natural now.
