I like this a lot. It's the way the scarecrow is askew and unkempt. It's also the contrast of the big broad grass in the foreground (did you say that's corn? no matter, IIRC corn's a type of grass, but I could be wrong), and the thinnner brushie stuff behind the scarecrow. It's the contrast of the yellows and the browns, with a touch of green in the background, along with the colour of the scarecrow right in the middle. Cool shot, only enhanced by your description. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
