auto colour / contrast settings

The bright yellow fields are a big part of the Essex landscape at this time of year but I think the picture lacks something with just a blank expanse of sky.

Managed to capture definition in the blue sky in a second shot, but at the expense of colour intensity in the field.  Will have to exlore further to see if there's a way to get a better balance between sky and landscape.

These were taken at the open day at Weeley Woods, usually no public access to this nature reserve but they open the gates once a year during the bluebell season.

I'm getting used to the macro and apperture settings, particularly pleased with achieving the out of focus background to the fern.
