I liked the way the evening light struck this split rail fence, matching the line of the trees in the BG.

Nice light and layering! A small crop from the bottom, removing most of the shadowed area might keep this from being so heavy and showcase the evening light better.

Wonderful lighting in this, John! I like the way the dark sky contrasts with the warm light sweeping across the field. The fence certainly adds a nice element to this picture. I agree with Phil about the slight crop from the bottom. That way the fence would provide a nice bottom frame for the picture.

Phil And Carolyn, thanks for the suggestion on cropping from the bottom. Have attached a re-post hope this is what you meant.

Yes, the repost looks better, John. However, I think I would still go up a tiny bit more. Probably so none of the grayish ground in front of the fence is visible; it will look like the posts are planted on the bottom of the frame. :smile: At least that is what I envisioned; see what others think.

Lovely evening light. The repost is subtly but noticeably improved.
