Interesting graphics here. Colors really pop, though I might have composed without the rd. at the top to keep a more uniform look and further simplify the shot. I'm curious if the yellow is due to the low angle light or a different plant than the greens

Thanks for commenting Harry, you comments for my pass posts have helped me quite a bit. This picture should answer your question. It is both low angle sunrise and shadow cast by hills before it. I tried to get it without the road, but it was very tight, there is a road for the tracker on the bottom right corner, i was hoping that road would help balance out the road on top.
