Another beautiful scene. I must say, given how beautiful your color work is, and how wonderful the colors are where you live, I would have liked to have seen this in color. It's a good composition, but I just wonder what the vibrancy of your greens and your skies might add. Just my thought.

@GJC: GJC I'll send you the picture in color, I found it too green :).

It looks fine in sepia, but I would have liked to see just a little bit of colour in all this brown. I think that some selective colour would have worked, giving the shot a bit of accent .....OR.....as GJC suggests above, better show us the landscape as it is! You know that I like Dutch landscapes!
