Default Texas field

So My camera needed to be sent back to canon to get some warranty work done and I am just going insane! Ive been sitting here looking at all my photos and I keep coming back to this one I took just a few weeks ago. Maybe its the lens flare, maybe its the sharpness or the fact I cant figure out how to crop it and make myself love it. My question on this one is what would you do to make this a photo you would like. Some editing suggestions or just some general critiquing would be awesome. Thanks guys - Andy

I like how you've shot the field. the depth of it really shows here. The lens flare is a little distracting. I've had that pop up also and dont really know how to avoid it. I also find the sky a little too bright for the foreground. Hope this helps.

Neat concept. A couple quick things...Definitely clone out that lens flare and jul is right...sky is overexposed. Here is a quick try in Photoshop...quick...not perfect.
