    Another great pano, Greg. Nice capture of the trail of the bales, I can even a third one way down by the dirt road. The slope really helps the shot from being too heavy on the right. Nice sky too. So, great lines, colors and composition.

    Greg,

    Great shot. I really like the composition here. Colors are great - love the slope and the trees on the right.

    Re: In the Country

    Thanks Arne, Thanks Liz. I got lucky with the hay. I have been wanting to shot a sunrise here for a long time cause of the trees on the right and the road. The hay just happen to be there, my luck. This is on the side of a country road but what traffic does go by is very fast and also in a bad curve. I had to take my son to drop me off and come back and get me after I was finished. There is no where to park.

    Re: In the Country

    Nice. Being more of a country boy than city kid, I find this shot inherently relaxing. The colors, horizontal format, subjects, vanishing point (well, road to the left) all work.

    Areas for improvement: I can't seem to get past that haystack being dead centered, but, not sure a crop will solve that, for I think the left side objects are good for the photo. It is also too soft for a landscape shot, meaning that it really should have been shot w/ a tripod and be razor sharp. What's up with that...?

    Re: In the Country

    Thanks all. GB I have a cropped version as well with the hay bale on the left. I may has not sharpened the resize as much the original is sharp. I used a tripod an am even manually focusing now a days I find my images are sharper that way. I am working harder to raise the IQ thing.LOL
