I found this little scene on the way to pick up my wife in DeQueen. It reminds me of the pumpkin patch on Charlie Brown's Halloween special. The hay bales were just poking up above the top of the grass. I wished for a partly cloudy sky, but the overcast day provided some nice texture and mood for the shot, I think.

Hi Dominic a classic AR country look. The bails just peaking out gives the image a neat look and help provide depth. Cool shot.

Interesting analogy Dominic. That show should be airing again any day now. I like the comp with the bales just peaking above the grasses and the cloud cover did provide you with some nice contrast.

Very nice Dominic. The homogeneity of the grass gives the scene sort of a peaceful, tranquil feel, that's reinforced by the beautiful clouds. The bales add a little interest to keep me moving through the image. Nice work!

Dominic, for some reason, I am not seeing you photo?
