Okay, so a little photo humor there. I took this the same day as the Sprinkler in the Rye shot, just a mile or so down the road near Prineville. I was struck by the RGB color scheme, but the composition wasn't half bad either. Been toying with cloning a fifth haybale in the second row back....any thoughts on that?

Cute, Marylynne. I think this is an interesting mid-day study in composition. I like the placement of the trees against the bales of hay. I think adding another bale on the left might spoil the balance...you might try it and post it on this thread for comparison. Would be interesting.
I think the comp is quite good. It's a challenge to get dramatic lighting with mid-day, flat lighting...but I think the strength of the element placement helps the overall image.
Thanks, David. The day just kept getting later and the sun higher (I wasn't use to that giant orb in the sky this spring). Here is a link to a version with an "extra" hay bale, but I think the angle bracket (keeping the digital motif here) effect of the 3 bales, the trees, and clouds make it more dynamic.
