It’s not often that I see pictures of cutting hay; makes me think of the pleasant smells and summer calm of the West Virginia valleys where we cut hay. Instead of a sky backdrop, it’d just be a hill of trees if the picture was taken in West Virginia. 🙂
Yes, the picture is very blurry, even for on-screen viewing. I’m thinking it appears blurry because it’s out of focus. Did you have your camera set to Manual focus when you were shooting the sunset? Also, the blur could come from the noise-reduction. 3200 ISO is really high.
For a more dynamic picture, I would have gotten down on my hands and knees to see what perspectives I could get. You should have been able to still see the pattern in the rows just fine because they are all going up hill for the most part. Also, because it was the rows that you saw that you liked, I would suggest you zoom in quite a bit. Show only the pattern. Imagine if the sky and trees were not included; it would communicate to the viewer why you took the picture much better.
