Nice colors and exposure....I also feel it needs another element.

From your title your main interest in taking the image would appear to be the sky and its relationship to the land. Because the image is split almost 50/50 between land and sky that 'emphasis' is lost - the viewer isn't sure wether to focus on the sky or the land and so the image lacks a 'visual' focus. If you were to crop, say, 75% of the land then the sky would dominate and its relationship with the treeline would be more dramatic.
Just my thoughts - and based somewhat presumptuously on what I think you may have been looking to convey :)

Love the open natural feeling of this image, yet with all those tracks one would think this is a farm setting with a barn or even a tractor to pull our attention. Alas there is not any of those here, although tractor lines in field are great they need something to guide our eyes. Sky in distance is a nice mix of clouds and blueness, but large cloud in upper left corner pulls attention to it because of its' size and there isn't much else to view. This area has potential, if plan to return plan ahead and bring some props along or perhaps a friend to give this area some life to it.

Thanks for comments everyone :).

You're right that it may be a bit boring photo, at least for people who often are in similar open area. I live in blocks, where most of the things are grey, or covered by dust. Sky is most of the time grey too, and even if it has a bluish color, it's still not "real blue" like the one outside of town. So, at least for me, such open area, with green and blue colors, is like a "gift of freedom" or someting... it's like i can go wherever i want and not see any human for at least hour or two (which is great for me :)).

Traff: i didn't know how to call it without using too many words :). What i ment was that couds that day were soo close, that i could almost grab them. It seems that it's only my mind that is playing tricks with me, because when i look at the photo i have the feeling that the shadow is dropped by cloud, and that cloud is just above my head (and comming my way). Actually when resizing photo i called it "falling sky" but i thought it's too dramatic name. Maybe if i called it after the Ray Bradbury's story "Something wicked comes this way" it would suit better? :).

loneorbit: You're right - it's a one of the farm fields, but farm is far away (well... maybe just 30 minutes walk).

Thanks again for Your comments. Next time i'll try to catch something "cathing eye" there for You :).

Beautiful colors, well focused and exposed. I have to agree with the others that the image is lacking an element and agree with Traff that eliminating some of the foreground would give more emphasis to the sky. It's a good idea to avoid compositions that are split into 50% sky / 50 % ground or water.With that said, I still find it a beautiful image. Nice work.

Dutch-memory: Thanks :).

John: Thanks, i'll try to remember about that "no 50/50" rule :). Hmm.. if i would crop (so it's again about my lack of "cropping skill";) horizontally at the bottom, land would be much less than 50%, and sky would get more emphasis, right?
