Hoshitoge Rice Terraces

On late November, Hoshitoge's rice paddies form clear "water mirrors" (mizukagami) that reflect the sky, while being shrouded by a sea of clouds on the right weather conditions.

Any comments or suggestions for improvement?

Love the colour tones in this, great shot!

Thanks!

Improvement... dunno. It's a pretty well balanced shot as is.

That said... always different edits to play with for different expressions of emotion, storytelling. Here are three examples I tinkered on. Easier to show. First one... defocused the background to emphasize those great rice paddie plateaus. Second... saturated the sunset. Third... I played with High Dynamic Range (HDR).

You've got a fine image there. It's a pleasure to view. :)
