This is quite beautiful. Actually nice and serene. Love the open swath of bright green below the woods as well as the scattered yellows in the vegetation. Nice depth too.
Too much sky? hmmmm, cropping “some” starts to bring this to a 50/50 comp which I don’t think would work as well as presented. You’d have to crop enough sky to allow the landscape to maintain it’s prominence, and then use the sky to compliment. Just don’t know if there’s enough interest in the lower sky to crop that much.
I’m enjoying this as presented
Bucolic is what comes to my mind. It makes me want to take the dog for a morning stroll.
I agree with @Lon_Overacker that cropping the sky would move the horizon too close to the middle, so I vote for as is.
The color looks just a touch muddy to my eye. Any chance this has a slight yellow caste (with maybe just a dash of too much green)?
