Ahhh vast, rural and flooded rice paddies. The black and white helps pop out the patterns, the bright sky at the top might benefit from a bit of a nip as it is overpowering.

Again I agree about the sky. How to calm that down and not lose detail in the front of the image just above the line of trees?

Minimalism, strong in b/w, artistic too. I think a bit more detail may be needed in that rock wall.

I agree about the wall. Lightening it there has an adverse affect on the copse of trees. How do you lighten one area and not another?

Yes to this one as well. NIce and sharp I really like that outcrop of stones there because it gives us the feel of "peeking in" on a scene and whether it is rocks as in this case or grasses I always love that effect. Very nice.

thankyou

The background is more industrial area than rural...
