A recently sown field of maize. I rather liked the two trees. C & C always appreciated.
Cheers

First, great idea! I have always wanted to get some shot like this! Both are perfectly composed and great exposures!

Second, the #2 appears to be better. Mainly because it is bit brighter, so I would increase exposure for #1 slightly in processing. The second shot also has some sort of blob on the smaller tree. Also if you can increase highlights, it would give the ground-covering, shiny clouds and even the farmhouse a chance to glisten. Furthermore, the directional lighting that you have captured will be further enhanced if you increase highlights. Finally, not sure if you added vignetting or not, my guess is not, but if you add few ticks it gives it nice depth. Also try and increasing luminance for "blue" color as it would add something to sky and even it out.

Again, love at first sight, but I would process it a bit more! Suggestions are for #1. I belileve #2 might be ok as is but you can tinker, just in case! Cheers!

Thanks ever so much for looking and commenting. I really appreciate what you have told me and I have found an improvement in the alterations I have made.
