Nice color. Two things to try: Get real low to emphasize the sky & the grass as a silhouette & level the horizon

I was as low as i could get. There was a sand dune. I should have showed more sky and less dune

nice shot. the only thing i would do is crop out some of the dark area at the bottom. some is good but your picture has about 1/3 of it black. when you have black in a shot like this only a small amount should show. maybe next time check your histogram and see what it is telling you

I see what you mean. More sky and less black would look much nicer

did a quick crop and straighten any better

This is a shot that is very well done! I do have to agree with Chip that it could have used less of the dark area.
Overall this is a gorgeous shot!!

I should have also straightened it before framing. MY BAD

Less of the dark area, and framed. Now it needs your name on it, printed, and hung!!

It was done in Photoshop CS5.
Make edits to your orgional photo, then go to file, and choose new. I used 7.5 x 4.5 for this one.
Move your orgional over to the "new screen".
Then use your control + your T key to size your photo, leaving some room on all 4 sides (Use your ruler to do this).
Now in your layers palette, double click on layer one, and choose stroke. On color double click and use your eye dropper to choose a color within the photo, and click ok
Now where it says position, choose inside, and I always choose less than 10 for the size, and click okay.
Now choose background in your layers palette, double click, then click ok. Now under your colors palette choose an outside color to frame with. Go to your paintbucket and drop that color in.
That should do it for you

I don't have elements, so I am not sure how that one works! :(
