The post off to the right directs the eye into the image, not that it’s really needed. Lots of variety in the layers!

The "rules" say that your photograph doesn't work, your results prove that the "rules" are made to be broken.
An excellent shot Linda.

Hi Linda. Just got around to studying this photo. It’s got a lot of interesting features. If I were editing it I would try several things. The main interest is in the center so I would try to reinforce that by cropping th bottom down the bottom of the trees. If you want to keep that grassy area I would make it much darker. Similarly, I would darken the sky a bit and significantly darken the mountains and to a lesser degree the hills. This is all to keep focus toward the center and not have it fade off the edges. Lastly, I would clone out the white post on the right for the same reason. Just my 2 cents since you asked!

I will try some edits to the sky and mountains also; not sure 'til I see. The white "post" - mentioned by a couple of folks in this thread - is a massive (35' usually) wind machine. Hard for me to let go of that, as they are so much a part of the commercial orchard landscapes here.
Thanks again!

One sunrise here at our place. Unedited, shot with my Samsung Galaxy 9. If I recall correctly this one was Feb 10th.
