I liked this view when passing by, so I stoped and took several shots of it.
Not much editing was done. There was a tin roof at the far tree line,a minor distraction that I removed ( hope no rules were broken )other than that I resized it and left everything else alone.

Lovely softness to the image. Very flowing, and the goldish color of the wheat adds a nice impact against the blue sky. I almost wish you didn't have the tree in the composition. It distracts the eye from the beauty of the wheat.
Walk a few feet and get the tree against the skyline by itself and you can use this for the single tree challenge. 8) Beautiful colors and light. I really like the detail in the wheat in the foreground.
I really like the angle you chose. Seems a bit soft - I played with a bit in Photoshop and some sharpening really brings out the wheat and the tree. You may also want to try putting the horizon dead center - right now it's not quite center and not quite on a third. A touch of saturation will help bring out the tree and the richness of the wheat too.
Bowing heads of ripe wheat are a long-time symbol in art and you have photographed an image well, from near to far. The tree, of course, adds a nice green to the end of growing year harvest photo.
