The constrast is just breathtaking, the raison d'etre of the stump is as beautiful as those precious green and golden plants

Love the color and framing - reminds me of plugs of hair on a scalp :} Humor aside - it is a vivid image.

Perhaps a wider shot to show the split between harvest and harvested. And I notice how the crops are leaning one direction... is this due to typhoon? Nevertheless, beautiful color and contrast, great work.

I am afraid if I had to do this kind of work my back would be killing me... I have to hand it to those who do it... they have more strength then I do... great shot...
