i do like it. But i do find myself tilting my head to the right with the slope not sure if that is just the lie of the land or the horizon is off. i would also keep the clouds. but i am no means an expert

Yeh it would be better if the clouds stayed and were darkened a little. im with Mrs Hesh, it could do with a straighten i think

 

[Prophet21]

no i did tilt the camera, i wanted the foreground haystack to be a bit diaganal, but i suppose it ruins the background - just thought it would make it more dynamic.

I don't like it I'm afraid. It looks over saturated to me.

And I don't want to use the word 'towny' but that's not a haystack!

 

[Prophet21]

lol what is it then... a hayroll.

i do think the blue is a bit saturdated, but the grass seems fine to me.

 

[fallen_mathi]

that would be a bail/bale (sp???) of hay i think its a good shot, however the blue does seem over satturated

 

[Pietrach]

Agree, the blue is too saturated, but I like the composition. Would look great at sunrise

 

[jontucker]

Yes... hay bale (or bale of hay).
