    My mistake has been seeking new landscapes. I should have been seeking new light.

    I love the HDR treatment on shot one....it's subtle enough yet it makes the wheat in the front "pop"...

    I agree, the HDR is not over the top and works for me here. Perhaps some slight leveling might also help.

    Thanks for all of the comments. This is my third attempt *LOL*. I'll take the leveling advice. Thanks Marko.
    Do you know that wheat makes you itchy *L* At least it does for me !!!

    Thanks again for taking time to comment

    I love the first one but also really like the second. However the first one captures a lovely mood and I like how the wheat pops.

    I agree about the levels, I thought about that myself but liked it how it was. will only need a touch change of levels, not much at all.

    I Like the hdr version also. Agree with the levels.

    I'd also adjust the white balance a little on the lower wheat section. But that's just me
