Another image of what is becoming an interesting site for me to record over the year. The hay has been cut and baled and the field is green again.

The contrast between the bales and the green behind is very nice. I'm also interested in how the rows show up on the left...the only time I've seen such strong rows in a hay field is when it's first planted. It would be nice to have a bit of light in front of the bales, but I suspect that the late afternoon sun angle makes that impossible.

The deep shadows at the bottom could maybe yield some more detail. Otherwise, they lessen the impact considerably. :smile:

The smooth round rolls contrast nicely with the rows of grass. Without knowing what the surroundings are, I'm thinking a diagonal viewpoint (which would also make the field rows look more diagonal) would make for a more visually interesting image.

Very interesting and unusual comp, John. I like your use of the long pano orientation to show the row of rolled up bales with the bright green color behind. Do wish there was more light in the foreground though.
