I just got my camera and carry it everywhere I go. On my way home from work I snapped this photo and did a little post production. Tell me what you think. All critiques and comments are welcome as I will use them to better myself.

I like it! I think the flares in the sky might be a bit too much and to run with the theme if you pulled the brightness of the grass to a prettier green it might round it out more but I like the image in general.

Thanks for you comments. I have taken your advice and made a few changes. I agree with the flares being overkill. I have removed them and given the grass a a little life.

It's much better now. The flares were too much in my opinion and the grass gives a nice green color now. The only thing that bothers me is that bush/tree on the middle left, I'd crop it out. Otherwise it's a nice picture.
