This is beautifully composed – the lone tree along the side of the road nicely balances the grasses foreground right – but it’s that silvery texture in the sky that does it for me.
The road gives a nice balance of brightness to the RH side of the sky. The line of uncut grasses points up the cutting of the verge, which tapers off for the machine to go round the tree!
The interplay of wild and maintained is the strong point in this.
Indeed fascinating. For me it’s the lone tree that makes this as all the ‘action’ seems to stem from it or at least passes it close by. The angled grasses and the scud of the clouds are give the overal plenty of whoosh…otherwise it would be just a little to static.
