In reply to Rob Ellis. Hi Rob and many thanks for this, much appreciated and glad that you like much of this one! I did actually like the slightly broken horizon line so left that bit of dry brush there in the hope it could fool people into thinking there were some trees or bushes there, but obviously not! Overall though, I have to be delighted with your critique, thanks so much!

ps The previous one looks a lot more clunky in comparison.

Nice, John. I particularly like the glowing vegetation above the right-hand hedge and you’re right: the road surface and the woodland work really well. Unfortunately you rough paper has resulted in a repeat pattern on the horizon but, so as not to leave it on a sour note, the sky and top-right tree are a delight.

I do like the second one a lot. I like the golden grass growing on top of the embankment or wall.
