Good leading lines of the tractor tracks though I feel more contrast is needed for them to stand out better. Also, without some puffy white clouds the sky is a bit boring even though the colour is quite pleasant. A slightly different perspective to show more of the field and less sky may work.

I like the picture, and agree on more contrast. Try increasing the saturation a good bit (i did +30 in PS) and the contrast a little bit (+8 in PS) The photo will have a lot more pop. If you live near this area you might think about going back there for the next couple days to see if you can capture a more dynamic sky but personally I feel this sky, or even one that is more uniform blue, is adequate for this image.

EDIT: I increased the brightness a bit too (+15)

Why did you take the pic down? Now you have a broken link in your first post.

Try selecting out the foreground and bumping up yellow saturation, possibly red and/or green, play with it. I don't think it's crying out for more contrast, it's a color issue for me. Also clone/crop out the bird-speck at very top?

Cool shot, nice and serene.

Having another subject (tractor, farmer,scarecrow, etc) would complete the picture. The viewers eyes follow the tracks but leads to nothing.

I like the edit much better. Glad you called it Wheat instead of Corn, however, below the pic you still call it corn. Whish we could change thread titles.

Over here, we call it corn anyway.
