You mean we let you into Hampshire Jake!
.
Is that the farm at Titchfield or Bishops mate? Thought they might be on there way over by now..
Nice shot, you were lucky with that sunset, tricky lighting there too.
Trouble is if you try and push the exposure of the sunflowers too much to give them a lift, it looks too false doesn't it (done it myself).
We'll done mate!

Think you have done a cracking job with the lighting. Love it
Thanks all! It would appear maybe I was being a little hard on myself with this one!
Steve - this is the one at Bishops! I'm quite often down in Hampshire, the OH is at Winchester Uni.

I don't see why you don't like it. I even like the sky, but reckon you could do some work to keep the cooler tones in the sky out, maybe descrease the colour temp and increase a little the yellow channel saturation to compensate.

It should, its nicer than the sunrise thread you posted. I'd give it a little crop off the sky, and reckon you'd have a really nice image you could frame, print and put up. The full range of tones is in that RAW file, get a bit more blue in the top of the sky and it'll sing.

You and I agree rarely about whats best but its whats open to interpretation with landscape photography, your engagement with the subject matter.

Looks good to me. I'd personally go for a slightly lighter sky, particularly in the upper left corner.

I have looked at this a few times now and still can't decide, I love the bottom have of the image with the catchlight in the sunflowers thats great and exposure is spot on but the sky is throwing me looks a little drab and my attention keeps being drawn to the single cloud ..have you tried a crop just below the cloud ?.
