Fall fields ready for the coming spring. It was raining this day which helped bring out the colors.

For me this is a pleasant enough photo, but lacks in interest. Please be aware that this is my personal opinion and a photo with similar composition and even less of interest in my opinion has sold for 4.3 millionhttp://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/art/8884829/Why-is-Andreas-Gurskys-Rhine-II-the-most-expensive-photograph.html

Your colors are nice but a little muted. Maybe a boost to saturation, though it could also be UHH messing with your photo.
I do like the little rise with the tree line and the triangular shape that it makes. I also like that you put that off center and not dead center.

I couldn't agree more, UHH is messing with the picture. On my "calibrated" monitor the colors are much brighter. The green layer in the center should be a bright green, and the layer above it is almost black, and that triangle area is a rich golden brown. As presented here on UHH it is kind of boring, but when presented as processed it is better.

One of the reason that some members post a link to either 500px or another account as well as here.

I really like the lines and the differing colors. They ARE better in the download. I think what mutes the image is the sky. If it were mine, I'd probably try to lighten it up a bit. I can just see me going to LR colors and squibbling with the blue settings! It looks to me that there's a lot of magenta in the sky. If so, taking the magenta hue down a bit might brighten up the greens.
