Along the road through Jacobsen Ranch to the original Davidson Ranch in Chileno Valley, west Marin County, California.
my intent was twofold; attempt to achieve a smooth sky (has obvious banding, but no comment said so...) and desired to make the ground area appear like it does late in the day when you have to squint at it, sort of over-sharpened.
Convert raw to CMYK, darken/sharpen blacks. LAB to adjust lightness & color curves. Resize, save for web, noise removal, sharpen. Submit.

What did you do to the processing here? It is interesting in its own way, but definitely does not look natural. I think I'd prefer this without whatever filter you used.
You have a fine comp, and scene - but the image looks oversharpened, when it should really have benefitted from a softer look. Colrs look a bit garrish, and unnatural, and somewhat overexposed.
Too much sky, the photo contains 80% sky and so this is what this picture is about. To make it about the fence, crop out all but small portion of the sky. Then it's all about the fence.
