Great colours Chris! It's begging for a more wide angle view though!

You don't need a wide angle lens to get a wide angle view

Have you tried cropping an inch or two off the top and bottom? Not saying it will work as well, but worth a go

Cracking shot and composition. Like the fact you have focused on the front plants and the colours fade into the background.

You don't need a landscape lens to catch cracking landscape shots, as this photo proves.

WOW great critique, thank you so much. This was something I stumbled upon when looking for a totally different shot.I am pleased with it, having experimented with focal point and depth of field I liked the result
