    This old farm

    The resized unedited capture. Your thoughts.
    In the larger original file you can see it just starting to rain.I will post the full res. image in my gallery. Rain drops frozen at just the right speed.

    I checked out the gallery one and IMO, rain is a little more effective if there's a longer shutter speed, but that's just personal preference.

    That said, it looks good. I love the lighting, I just wish it wasnt raining :lol:

    There seems to be something missing though, maybe a rusted out tractor or pickup behind that foreground, uh, thing. I like it regardless though, it's simple and the grass tones are gorgeous.

    Two problems. The sky is washed out, which needs to be fixed in post processing. A graduated neutral density filter would have helped on the camera when you took the shot.
    Problem 2 is more serious. There is no centre of interest strong enough to attract the eye of the viewer and hold attention for any length of time.

    Yep sky and center of interest are dead on comments, and i think it needs levelling....i might be dizzy...but the i doesn't look level....

    Nice attempt though...
