Greetings from the Critique Club :-)

1st thing: Welcome to DPChallenge!!! Great shot and score for your first challenge. I gave your image a 7.

You did a great job meeting the challenge description and that is very important here to score well. If a voter can't connect the image to the challenge, even if it's a good image it will score lower most of the time. The technical aspect of your image is done very well. The composition of the hay is right on, you might had cropped a little more off the bottom to get the horizon a little more off center. Having the sun behind the hay adds a ton to the shot. Your exposure is really good. The highlights/shadows works well. The over all color/tones of the image is good too. I do think it needs a little more pop in the colors/contrast. I don't know what processing program your using, but I think you could had bump the selective colors reds/blues/yellows a little and/or I like to use neutrals tab, it adds a little more contrast to the colors without blowing the highlights.

You have a Great eye for photography! Enjoy yourself here.
