Why the angle? Even the clouds look like they are sliding out of the frame. I like it with a level horizon.

A slant is o.k., but this one is too much.

Too much empty space behind the machine.

Get it back to where you had it a few days ago.

Agree with @otherprof, I'm not sure the tilt works here, at least IMO. I get the uneasy feeling with it, but I'm not sure that feeling should go along with this subject.

If you were to add some eyes on there... maybe?

The tilt can work in some scenarios. It doesn't work here.

 

[BananaRepublic]

OK the tilt was a bit "extreme ironing" but the machine is called a Hillmaster

This one maybe.. it reflects actual conditions, opinions about tone etc "bit harsh or ok" ?

 

[Designer]

Yes. Colors can be dialed back a bit.

Do you have a horizontal or vertical reference anywhere close? Do I see some vertical objects just over the top of the reel?

 

[Designer]

I brought the green down a bit, mostly to make it look dusty.

@BananaRepublic though you appear closer on color, I'm thinking you're still off some. JD equipment green has always had yellow in it, but it almost seems like the newer stuff has even more. T560 | Combine | John Deere INT

I think the RGB is 54,124, 43, but I haven't verified it.

Though the specs say it can handle a 22% grade I don't think you're dealing with that here. As Designer suggested I would use the vertices trees in the background to level it some.

Your subject is largely centered in the frame which is often a poor choice wrt composition.
A better approach might have been to pull back some and use the edge of the cut hay to create a leading line to the subject.
Too late now of course but maybe something to think about another time.
