I've driven past this scene several times and its not quite had enough potential, but today the sky had some good colour, I would have liked the plastic to have been wet from rain I think, it may then have had a better reflection, but happy with this as a starting point!

Superb use of lines and the contrasting warm/cool colours are great. Would possibly better with a single tree rather than two but there is nothing you can do about that. Hope you catch it wet sometime as I agree that would look really nice. Good stuff. Tristan

Hi Nigel,
What a lovely shot! Agree with Tristan about the use of lines.

Cracker of a image.
Love it
ps you could clone out the left tree just to see what it would look like

Many thanks guys, I have now done a version of this with the left tree cloned out and it does work well, I also shot some other compositions at the site, some of them are on my blog.

Really interesting image - when I first saw it I thought it was of peat extraction, due to the lines and colours. Do you know what's being grown?
