The combines are rolling and before I realize it the golden sea of wheat fields will be harvested and the straw baled. Since the landscape here is basically flat, I took advantage of the thunderstorm buildup in the east to add a bit of sunset color to this yet unharvested field.
@steampowered Thank you. Just googled barley, and it does look like barley. Very similar heads, but this is red winter wheat, which is a common wheat grown here.
Superb image of barley but the sky is beautiful and the, the thin dark horizon line is superb and the foreground barley a glorious gold : love this it would survive on tones alone
@snaggy Thank you. When I composed the shot I looked and saw my usual 50-50 horizon and remembered your advice. It feels awkward with this flat, empty horizon, but I'm trying to go with rule of thirds. It is more pleasing to the eye.
