I like the creepy ominous overhanging quality of the corn. 7

I come from corn-country myself and I see this type of thing every day. Nice job capturing the breeze.

Darn plastic fences anyway! :) Just kidding about the fence. You've done a nice job putting this composition together. Some strong lines working to add interest and the main pieces are well balanced in contributing to the story (corn stalks, sky, fence/barn). Feels gloomy, which is what you were going for. Nice PP work to enhance that. Just enough movement is some of the stalks to indicate a wind is indeed blowing. Overall, nicely done. Good luck in the challenge.

"Wind" isn't the first thing that enters my mind when I see this - the coming of winter is - but with the coming of winter comes wind, cold and blustery. The visible effect on the stalks emphasizes this. I love the lines of the fence and the echo of those lines from the fence in the distance. The toning is excellent.
