The grass has excellent color and I like the curve of the slope. The building adds a nice off-centered subject. The sky is the exact shade of blue I don't like. The foreground brownish color isn't interesting enough to take up 1/3rd of the picture. I would have walked closer or recomposed for less brown, more green, and used a polarizer for the sky. I guess all that is hard to do at 70MPH. A 5.0 is probably a nice score for a snapshot on this site. (I don't use snapshot here derogitorily, but rather that you literally took no time to set up the picture.)

It's over-enhanced. Best to avoid "auto" anything in post-processing and do it all by hand to get the most natural look.

Image lacked smoothness. You may have oversharpened, which made the foreground look very digitized. The sky was interesting, and the contrast of the green against the treeline was very nice. Maybe a bit more cropping of the foreground would have enhanced the image.

The green is so green, and a wonderful contrast to the rest of the image, well done.....

Lacks good sharpenss and the sky is really blown out. It could also benefit from a little less saturation in the green/yellow channels.

I like your composition. To me, the foreground seems a bit too saturated compared to the dull softness of the background hills. I do like the play of sunlight on the rolling green hillside.

The sky is a bit overblown which is a shame. If you have PS CS 2 try running the shadows/highlights filter.

I love the colors everywhere except the sky. Would have improved for me if the detail/contrast between white and blue could have been enhanced.

I do like the content and colors of the everything but the clouds. Clouds appear to a little washed out to me. Beautiful area.

Gorgeous! looks like a painting! I love the way you captured the sunlight dusting the field in spots.

Sorry not quite enough to this one - like the green hills but the clouds are too overexposed for mine, and the overall impression isn't great. 4/10.
