This picture was taken while my husband was driving(I was in the passenger seat) He was actually doing about 60 mph so I think it turned out pretty good.........what do you all think?

I really like the idea of this, and the colors are wonderful, imo. The two things I wish were NOT there are the silo in the distance, and that lone shadow right at the bottom of the pic. But yes, it turned out quite nice for being taken at 60 mph. :)

I can probably edit them out. I will be going back for a reshoot(provided I can find it again :p )
I think on the reshoot, I will stop the car........sometimes you cannot stop a husband in hurry, even for a picture! LOL :D

The contrasting colors on the left and right definately makes this picture for me. As Emily pointed out, the silo breaks the uniformness of the poles, but it still works. The cloud/skyline also seems a tad dark for me, given the relative brightness of the foreground...did you do any editing?

Good shot and hopefully you can reshoot,

I did do a small amount of editing, but not alot, the sky was alot darker then the fields which were catching the light of the sunset.....I will try editing out the silo and lightening up the sky some more.

Is this better? (Lighting the sky didn't look good to me, it made it look too grainy in the clouds.)

Nice shot! I like it better w/o the silo. The contrast and colors are great, esp for a moving car. Shots like this really show the vastness of the USA.

Much better IMO. Great strong editing and the color adjustment worked to a "t". Well done!

Thank you very much. I definitely like it better without the silo too. I am pretty pleased with the second image. Thank you all for the compliments!!

I have to agree that the second one is better. Great composition and colors. I love way rows of crops like this look! Good luck finding it again to take another shot! :)

Nice.

As far as reshooting goes, if you step on the other side of the posts you won't have that silo in the BG to interfere with your shot. Great job on the editing too.


Also, this shot might work better as a panorama, with less skies.

Thanks, I will see what I can with the reshoot.
