Ohhhhh, the colour of the sunlight hitting the barn...gorgeous! And all those tractor paths leading one's eye into and through the shot. What a beautiful and peaceful sight.
Not 'better' - just different.
I often play with conventions and expectations.
Image 'c' is just seeing how minimal a landscape can get (sometimes you have to work at my pictures to get something out of them because I don't think even viewers are entitled to a free lunch)
Nice one Hertzy. I like the way the lines in the crops lead your eye to the barn. What a beautiful view tho. Nice and peaceful....kinda like it is here in the cemetery.
