Nice shot. I hope you weren't the one who made those tracks in that farmers field.
Hello John,
Normally, I will look at the picture, then the text. I am possibly the only lunatic that
does not include "keep an eye on the date" in the sequence! …just happy you're posting!
First picture, two points if I may:
1. The rendition is a tad too flat, slightly on the dull side… the brighter band of light
crossing the shot should be, in my eye, a tad more vivid.
2. IMO, this composition should lead the observer in a perfect symmetry that may
amuse the eye but here, there are no elements to support this approach. Consequently,
a lack of visual dynamic is noticeable in this composition. To bring more interest to this,
try to crop (2x3) the tree to the left along with some sky: nothing is more boring than a
cloudless sky! The operation will take the farmer's path off centre.
I would very much appreciate seeing the new version!
Have a good day…

Hello again John,
Yes, in terms of cropping though the result is not as "off centre" as I imagine…
No, in terms of rendition! You see, your shot has three colours and the balance
flat… like a car radio without the equalizer!
I know that this is an early morning shot but I fail to see the clean, clear, and
crisp air of the early hours! YSWIM?
I could give it try if you think it may help…

John,
Here is a version of you posted pict. Had I a better file to work with, I could
have rendered a whole lot more I think…
This is just a suggestion of a direction that could be taken.
Here is a link to work I committed and that contain similar light situation.

Went to Eastern Europe recently. I will post some pictures on here as I go through them. Here is Turul, overlooking Tatabanya, Hungary. The largest bird statue in the world, with a wing span of 15 metres (49 feet) and the largest bronze statue in Central Europe.
