 This is a field of corn by the side of a state highway in Central Texas. I was caught by the sadness of the farmer's plight and the beauty of the plants blowing in the wind. The windmill poked up like a sentry, guarding the crop.

It's a very nice photo, but it doesn't scream 'photojournalism' to me.
