Description
One of my personal favorites from the venture around some local fields on a warm Spring Friday evening.The fields of nature, Scotland.
UPDATE: Finally completely satisfied with this now, cropped, sorted perspective, exposure, and shadows in clouds, and added a border and signing.
I hope you all enjoy, and thank you to all who view/comment/favorite/appreciate.

I really like this one, and the fact that it's one of your favorites is even better. The composition is good, and technique is also nice. You handled the light well and with no exaggerations.
However there are some changes that I would apply. First of all, I would crop a part of the fence and frame the picture in order for that beautiful yellow field to be shown. The colours of it are just great and I wouldn't miss it. In addition to that I would mask all the clouds and replace them with the original 8-bit ones and this is because there are several highlightened spots on them. Also, I would include a bigger part of the tree, so a better framing would be adjusted.
That is my humble opinion , I hope you are not irritated by it
However, I think still it is a great photo, and not easy to edit. Though it is not my style, since I like the nature with its true colours and not photomanipulated, I like it among other HDR with the same subject. Well done

No HDR, I don't do HDR in any of my work to be honest.

You don't know? It's pretty obvious, and I've stated what I changed in the 'artists comments'.

What i do like is the way the Skewed lines of the fence and telephone pole wires intersect the image, at first glance you hardly see it as it is overwhelmed by nature, but then as if to say that MAN has crept into all aspects of nature, its there. 
The only thing I would say is maybe it is a little TOO SHARP if there is such a thing
