There is so much that is good about this image that it almost seems unfair to nitpick about what doesn't quite work. I really like the play of light on the tufts of grass, the capturing of the sun's starburst (for want of a better term) without resulting flare becoming excessive, the pattern of clouds with sky, the overall clarity and sharpness, and on and on. The only thing that I don't quite like is the dark, featureless lower left section. It looks like he chose to have the foreground presented this way because it offered the best overall composition, including the full featuring of the single grass tuft in the center of the foreground. Sometimes that's what the landscape offers.

Overall, kudos. I like the image.
