Langton Field
Trudging across many fields, on my Saturday walk, spotted this not long after half ripping my finger to bits on a wire fence...

Like it 
Darken the lighter areas in the left hand side just to balance it out a bit perhaps? Or maybe it just needs a frame as it's on grey.

Framed, with a little contrast and selective burning would make this look great.

Did you also consider the use of grad ND filters? I've had a play and like the results using a Blue grad and yellow grad.

This is a fantastic image, Like MS said it works really well this way, very dramatic.

Blimey, like that. It's bloomin' frustrating when your PP skills are not up to doing so much...I'm trying!
Ha ha ...you have upset the 'other half...quote 'it's your s*dding picture, what are they doing messing around with it...I liked it in black and white'.
Don't worry JR she will calm down! You may be a toughy marine but you don't want her with a rolling pin in hand after you!
Seriously, thanks...I like that coloured version. I had a good day out with the camera yesterday, did about 8-9 miles over the fields plus all the messing around and came away with around 5 or 6 images I was happy with. The light was changing but I seemed to vbe lucky with the winter sunlight here and there. I still need to get to grips with the post processing to get the best from them.

BC - please pass on my compliments to your good Amazonian lady wife and do offer her a bunch of virtual flowers! 
Others: I'm not offering my edit as an improvement to BC's image - it is simply to illustrate something that else that can be done through PP.
Claire - it was a 2 minute job using gradient levels to simulate Grad filters.
