Morning sun breaking through

I liked how the morning sun breaking through the clouds warmed up this farm.

Any thoughts or comments on the edit?

The image is alright, would have been better if you went wider though. On the pp side, its a bit over saturated for my liking and the plantation seems a bit neon?

I like the subjects, but the over saturation seems to have left this one looking slightly OOF to me? Hills look great.

I like the composotion but the blue coming from the clouds looks a bit over done.

nice comp but I think the colors are a bit overdone... did you HDR this?

Thanks for the comments so far. I've been 'playing' with some different filters and like the details in the mountains that was brought out and the warm colors, especially around the hay shed but was unsure about the saturation. I'll try doing some selective desaturation.

Edit: yes, this is a 7 exposure hdr and heavily cropped.

Ok, the heavy crop would explain the softness...

Here's a more conservative edit and less cropped. The scene was dark due to the clouds with the sun popping through which lit things up a bit.

I like the last one posted with maybe a compromise between the two on the saturation although a large print of the last one would work really well.

he second one os better but need to balance the saturation a lil bit because the soil area is a lil bit dull.. try to play with the vibrance to achieve the effect.. just try

We are all different ... I tend to like the saturated shot better. I think you nailed it!

i like a little bit of extra saturation as well but the first one the clould seem unnatually blue. so if u could tone down the satuation alittle on the sky it would improve the shot. But otherwise i like the shot very much personally.

Thanks for the additional suggestions...much appreciated.
