Nice picture, an ND Grad would have helped the sky though, you can do that in photoshop with a gradient adjustment layer.

Cheers

Nice effort Nig, but my eyes are drawn to the small object just off the right-centre and the lone bale on the left. Did you try a portrait format with only the left-hand side?

I was thinking just what Bawbee said, I like the picture but I think most of the interest is on the left-hand side.

I like that too, think the combination of the nice sharp foreground offset by the misty background works well

I like that Nig. The square crop does work in this case. You do have a few alternatives to consider with the original. Be Brave

Nice, but yet one more notch (skyline treetops) off the left?

again judicious cropping has made an excellent picture.
Perhaps this could be taken one step further to mono...

Contrary to popular opinion, I prefer the original shot, which gives space to the image and plays on the vastness of the open countryside.

Yup. I like the original shot too - preferably without the little noggle on the brow (centre of frame), if possible.

And definitely not mono'd - waste of a beautifully subtle colour shot that!
