Very overcast and the rain was threatening. My son ran about 20 feet into the field and I took about 10 pictures before it started falling.

Post processing: Used GIMP, Tweaked hues-saturation, mostly yellow and cyan. Used curves to lighten it up, kept as much blue in the sky as I could, would've liked it bluer. Cropped, rotated slightly, resized image, applied a slight unsharp mask.

Fantastic field of wheat and nice hint of the farm buildings beyond. I think you could have done more justice to the cute child. The light or editing doesn't flatter him somehow. I do like his placement in the frame.

In all honestly, I would have cropped out the barns in the background. With the white roofs, they pull our eye away from the main subject, the boy. Maybe it would make it less "landscape" but it would really make for a b etter photo in my opinion. Nice focus on the boy. :~)
