The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
I have posted this photo some month ago but I wasn’t happy with it so I changed the things that I didn’t liked and now I try to dawnload it again. I modified shades, color a bit, sharpening and some details. I took this image in winter at dawn. Its peculiarity is that all the lines in the whole image, straith or curve, has the same direction to the left and only when all arrive to the top of the hill they turn right towards the house.
Specific Feedback
There is still something that can be improved?

The texture and flow of the landscape caught my eye immediately, Giuseppe. Your composition draws the viewer’s eye through the undulating hills, showcasing the intricate patterns formed by the terrain and lighting. The solitary tree in the foreground adds a nice focal point, anchoring the composition.
The subtle adjustments to the shades and colors have enriched the mood of the scene, giving it a warm, early morning glow. The path winding through the hills leads the eye naturally towards the top, where the lines converge and shift direction, creating a dynamic visual journey. This perspective emphasizes the rhythm and movement of the landscape beautifully.
Interesting image. This has a Salvador Dali, surrealistic look to it. The road does not converge with distance which takes away perspective and gives in an awkward two dimensional look to it. That and the sparseness of subjects gives it that other worldly surrealistic. That’s how I see it. The main furrow almost looks like a fold in a cloth.
@Saundie thanks for another excellent and thorough reading of my photo. You understand and descibe my vision when I take and process an image. Thank you so much. @SueK thanks for your comment. I am not sure about the type of this main field, may be it will become a wheat field judging by the narrow plowing. The land here is different, special because is made of clay. The place is in Tuscany and for this reason is called Crete senesi, Clay of Siena. You see how the terrain is wavy and fissured. It’s just one house Sue, many of the hills here are surmounted by a isolated house or a villa. Thanks again. @Igor_Doncov your idea of a surrealistic image is very appealing for me, indeed was and still is my vision for this photo. Creative are your photos and your comments. Thanks.
Guiseppe, all of the parallel, but wavy lines make excellent drama. They stand out well in the low angle light. I like the single tree in the lower right corner and how you’ve just go the roof of the house showing. I didn’t see your earlier version, but this one looks great.
Its a really attractive landscape which I assume is Tuscan. I love the compressed perspective given by the long lens and feel that the proportions of the image are pretty good though I would prefer a tad more sky and perhaps a fraction more ground on display as I like the change in Earth tones on the extreme bottom right of the frame which I would like to have seen slightly more of assuming nothing else intruded into the scene. Love that wiggly dirt road or track going up the hill. I am less keen on the roof top showing over the top of the hill and the basket around the poplar tree but I suspect there is little you could do about either, other than exclude them both from the composition.
