Hi Rajan,

I like it, but I would slightly tame that almost white sky.

Light grey with more clouds structure will work well I think.

Have a Nice W-E.

I am thinking no truck or sky just a tapestry of nature's colors but that is just me.

Let me be contrarian, I like it exactly as it is. The sky is not too light for me and the truck provides scale and depth. Great work!

Thank you, gentlemen.

Thierry and Dwayne - this was a quick filing "from the field." It is one of the several compositions I made, and most of them did not include the sky at all.

I like it as it is. It talks to me about "adventure" and "nature".

If there were more sky in the frame, then I’d say do something with the sky. As is, the sky is a minor player in the shot, and serves only to highlight and contrast the foreground elements. Pretty nice as is in my way of thinking/seeing.

I agree with the "don't fix the sky" idea… The 4x4 and the sky don't seem to attract my eyes, they stay on the vibrant colors of the vegetation.
