hoges,

Stopped by earlier, had no Q or A or ! Now I think it's appealing because as a former Midwesterner this looks serenely homey. And it could use some foreground interest. Or angry sky or a closer take on some aspect of landscape. Early morning, late afternoon, something less "serene?"

My comments:

- The horizon's tilted. (insert 'you can fix that in photoshop' comment... I find horizon fixing to be irritating except in iPhoto, because you have to rotate the image, then crop out the 'blank' spots introduced by rotating it... blah blah blah...)

Actually, the horizon might not be tilted, but the area where the field hits the hills seems to slope up to the left. This might be a perspective effect. In my opinion, very subtle perspective effects look a bit bizzare, since they just look crooked.

- Oddly enough, I think there isn't enough sky. The sky is more 'interesting' to me than the big expanse of green foreground. Maybe if you cropped it off below the sheep, and let in a little more sky? The sky helps it feel 'big', I suppose.

It is okay but not remarkable. Now, if you could get one of those animals (sheep? cows?) into the foreground, that would liven things up a bit!
