Harvest Wheat

I like the graphic nature of this, but the sky may be a bit too dark for me. And that van has got to go.

Beautiful image Lincoln, I like the contrast between the dark sky and the wheat, but the van needs to be cropped out imo, I don't think it adds anything to the image and it certainly distracts from the scene.

Yes I agree about the van.

The light wheat against the dark sky is what initially caught my attention in a good way, I agree about the negative presence of the van. I also notice some light bands (clouds?) above the center hill, and one inclination would be to clone them out.

Thanks for the comments. Ah, the van! Yes, visually it should go. However, the gallery is 'man and nature' and what struck me that day in the Palouse is how heavy the hand of man is there. There are roads and heavily controlled and cultivated fields. For example, I couldn't find a place in the wheat field where I could place my tripod without seeing the planting rows. Of course, I could have chosen the view at right angles to the one I chose but that wasn't the composition I wanted. Another striking sign of human influence is how uniform the wheat is is height, size color etc. It may have been GMO wheat too, but I haven't researched that. So for me the van represents the intrusiveness of man on this 'natural' scene. Still, it is an eyesore. And the Palouse a visual masterpiece.
