Red Onion Plants captured at the farm in Sacramento, California. I had to adjust the camera several times to capture this unique backlit.

I laughed out loud at how clever this is. Amazing in both meeting the criteria and as an excellent photo.
If I was going to print this for my wall I think I would level the horizon. It might not be level in real life but you could bend the top right down to lessen that scooped look.
There are 3 holes in the foreground, lower left, and 2 on the lower right. I would clone in a flower in those spots to decrease the size of the dark patch... only if it can be done in a convincing way.
My suggestions are because I can see this as a huge acrylic face-mounted print hanging on a living room wall, or offered by the Lumas gallery. It's a 5 in my book, and that's why it's worth a little extra work to make it perfect.
Thank you Brian for your thoughtful feedback and suggestions. Your ideas gave me a second look at my image. I barely photo edit my images and I don't even have the right software to do so. I use the iphoto app to do the minor adjustments. Maybe it something I need to consider for the future.
Without the sky this would be terrifying. Amazing shot
