Hi Sups,
There are a number of things I like about this image, but also
a few changes in composition I would make to increase it’s
main focal point of interest.
I like the either the fog or agri-burning smoke…either way a nice
atmospheric element. If the mustard is your main focal point
the partial building on the right is distracting to the eye
and the sky is not that special. IMHO I would crop about 1/2
of the sky and on the right just crop enough off to eliminate
the building. I feel that would make your composition stronger,
yet not change it that much..hence the 4 out of 5 stars.
Next March I wanna go with you
*cheers*

Did you use an GND filter? It may bring back some color and details in the sky. If you have RAW image you can process it with 2 different exposure and blend it together using a simple gradient. I heard you attended an HDR seminar recently.
) Nice photograph…I agree with Nelcha’s comments above.
