Early morning community planting.

I took the shot along the hiway, using a 200mm lens.

A bit hazy so I used levels adjustment, saturation, USM and neat image.

Greetings from the Critique Club

What an interesting country you live in. This rice field picture gives great clues to the agricultural area where you shot it. Unfortunately, for the viewer, they are just clues.

I'd suggest moving in very close to some of the action. In moving your image around on my screen, I find an interesting composition in the lower right corner: the three clustered people and the three people standing behind them. I wonder if, with that nice 200mm lens of yours, it would have been possible to isolate them and their activity. Of course, you could have been too far away, and certainly you can't go back to try again. I'm just bringing out the idea of trying to present the most important and easiest to understand part of the story.

But, after checking over your portfolio and looking at some of your amazing close-up work, I realize you know all this, and certainly your competency with a camera is right up there.

So about all I can say, is continue to enjoy your DPC experience and I'll look forward to seeing more of your very nice images.

This is one of those photos where size counts and here at DPC challenge, it's probably not placed at an advantage. Would have loved to see the details. As is, I can only vote based on what I can tell. 5.
