Joni I just wanted to throw a small cup of water on the fire.
I have looked at the picture again and I still think it's a good shot but... I think it could have been a lot better compositionally. You put the horizon line across the centre of the frame and you didn't take enough advantage of those furrow lines in the foreground. If you had moved to the right more and got the lines moving diagonally across the frame and lost some of the sky it would be even better IMO.

Thanks for your opinion! It's always nice to hear what someone else could have done differently. And now that you mentioned the space (and the angle) of the foreground and the sky i started to think you may be right. This could have been even better that way. Maybe i was concentrated too much on the sky that i didn't pay so much attention for the foreground (i often do that if i see as beautiful sunset as this was

).
Oh well...what's done is done but i really gotta keep this in mind!
