Taken a few weeks ago on a beautiful autumn morning, I finally got around to working on the image tonight. This is pretty close to SOOC with a simple levels adjustment to punch up the already-white bark on the trees and then I did a color balance to tone down the yellow levels in the grass.
My question is does this composition work or does it feel too heavy on the left side with that giant tree? Should I maybe try a vertical crop of just the tree instead of the horizontal crop I have presented here?
Any other suggestions/comments would be much appreciated.
Oh, and for the record, yes - the sky really was that blue. That's why they call it the great Midwest. ;)
