Soybean field in Manchester, TN. Recent rains have helped to keep things green.

I like the shot but....

The shadow from the left in the foreground is distracting me. Think it might be a tree or something. Lovely as all the green is, I would personally like see something in the foreground (maybe that tree).

Thanks for the comments, Karlos. The tree causing the shadow is in a rather unattractive, overgrown fence row to the left and I was ill-prepared for climbing it in search of some type of framing. Guess I'll have to go with the soybean field as my foreground interest in this one. Thanks again.

Regards

You need something with color in the shot, which by itself is nothing but a nice background into which you could introduce a subject.

In other words, this is a background looking for a foreground.

Thanks for the comments Bob - and fair comments they are. If you get a chance, see if you think my recent post "Landscaped Driveway" works better composition-wise.

Thank you for viewing.
