Reuschbach in the valley at dawn...the beginning.

Another great shot. For me, not sure if I would crop a bit of the sky; but at the same time, the sky tonality is very interesting.

That is awesome, yep I would crop some off the top.

I like the farm & fields & woods, very dark ant not obvious at first glance. The beauty in this photo comes out slowly.
Well done!

+1
Also agree about cropping the top a bit

My first reaction was that the bottom needed to be brought out more, but I think the others' critiques of cropping of the top may actually do two things.  One is to have a slightly better proportion, but more importantly it will help expose the bottom.  The top is so much brighter that my pupils get smaller.  I think the ideal crop is to take 75% of the orange sky off the top.

Great capture!

Love it just the way it is.  Very well balanced, the sky and the darker half.
