Hello from the Critique Club!
This is a lovely landscape image that evokes calm and tranquility in the viewer. I can see just what it was that attracted you to the scene: The light on those distant hills is irresistible. The sky has those rolling clouds that create a moody, atmospheric feel. The light on the fields has brought out a myriad of green tones and shades. The cows seem oblivious to the beauty around them.
The foreground on the bottom left is darker than the right side. Whilst this is underexposed, the slight contrast between the two halves does seem to lead the eye into the image. The eye is than lead across the image in a diagonal to the hill on the far right. This creates the idea of perspective and distance. The viewer is then led back across the image across that range and sky. Mirroring the foreground, the top right of the image is lighter than the top left, which creates a sense of balance.
The depth of field and focus are excellent -even with my eyesight I can see detail on the hill in the middle in the far distance.
You have also used the rule of thirds well ΓΆ€“ even though it appears to be half land/half sky, the two larger hills on either side of the image make the land two-thirds of the image.
The only criticism I can find is the underexposure of the cows on the left hand side. There is heaps of information on DPC about how to remedy this, and I think a lot of voters would love to see this image reworked to bring out its full potential;)
A lovely image that has bags of potential.

| A bit dull. Nice background. I think it would be a nice shot without the cows (which also would make it not apply to this challenge). I hope you got a shot of the landscape while you were there. |

| Diary??? I think you meant Dairy. Beautiful landscap, but the cows are out of focus and a bit dark. Might want to spell check your titles next time, some may take off for that one. |

| I"m sure you've heard this plenty of time already....but did you mean Dairy? I'm sure you did. Nice picture. You way want to consider dodging on the darker colored cows a little to make them stand out more. |

| The cows seem somewhat under-exposed. This tutorial might help you to bring out more of the detail in the foreground. |

| I don't see a Diary. Is there one laying on the ground somewhere? How about DAIRY??? Makes me think you don't care about your entry when you make a spelling error in the title. |
