Ranch 3

Many elements elevate this shot from the 'also rans'.  Your vertical framing has allowed both the interesting foreground and the equally interesting sky areas to share precedence.  The much desired diagonal line is supplied by the fence retreating to the horizon and the coil of fence wire (tire maybe?) and the dark tree provide a nice balance.  Were this one mine to print I might consider toning down the brightness of the field above the fence line.  Fine result for your efforts.  Best, LM.

Thank you so much for your comments. This is in the to-be-printed queue, so I will look carefully at the grass tones when I do print.  The grasses may be a little bit hot, but I definitely want to keep some difference in tones between the land and the sky. But you've given me ideas... Thank you again for your help!
