Thought I'd return the favor -- fyi 6 - muted tones and the play of yellow/straw and green works well... what kept it from an 8? the light areas kept pulling my eye to the less-interesting outside edges. I agree with many of the other commenters re: the grainy feel - adds to the dry/wet contrast :)
beautiful photograph.....I really like this one. I like the flowing lines on either side, and overall great composition.....You deserve a 10 with this shot...
love the grain you introduced, do not like the slight oversharpening. not sure i see the line...? I do not mark pics down for what may be my ignorence... so don't frett.
Nicely done. I like how the lighter grasses frame the opposite edge corners. At first I didn't think I liked the grain in the picture, but after studying it for awhile, I think it really adds. Good job 9
