Whoa! What a relief to come upon this shot after all the DNMC's I just went through. Fantastic, lovely, uplifting. Slippy & Ebert give this two thumbs up, WAY UP! The sunbeams through the rain, the colour and geometry of the fields... [10]

edit - picking this as a top ten finisher, good luck!

Ahh, the beauty of difference in opinion.(per other comments) Sure a horizontal landscape shot would look great, but I'm a fan of stunning landscape photos with a big sky. In this case, the sky is intetesting so it works. Personally, if I were to shoot something similar to this, if there were different kinds of clouds in the frame, and the sky had some action going on, I'd go with the vertical shot (like yours), thus capturing the atmospherical action.

If I had any suggestions to improve, I'd say a tad adjustment to the contrast in the sky, but not so much as to peak any highlights. Great shot though. Good job.

Great landscape shot. I like how the haze creates a secondary layer beyond the green field. 6
