Hi Venture,
Not sure of the variety of wheat but 'bearded' is certainly apt. I was just
passing through on a walk so I haven't revisited at different times of day
but it's food for thought.
Yours is the second suggested alternative and both are interesting and
valid. I do like to have a 'bridge' into the shot and the foreground wheat
was there for that purpose but being the full width of the frame it is a
fine line between 'bridge' and 'barrier'. It would have been nice if you had
been there. The scene plus a very fine artist (I've seen your web site) in
the foreground with the scene mirrored on your partially completed canvas
would be the ideal 'bridge' :-) I had that sort of thing in mind when I met
this artist whilst trying to complete a project *.
