I like the composition, a typical pastoral scene in middle California  
flatland.

Technicals:

- It seems slightly rotated in a clockwise direction.

- Both the B&W and color renderings seem a little off on my screen:  
as if the middle tones are a bit compressed together, and (in the  
color) the saturation is pushing a clipping limit on the green  
values. It makes the photo look slightly unnatural, which seems out  
of place given the pastoral scene.

If you were looking to highlight the row of trees, as the subject  
line suggests, the flatness of the rendering is questionable.  
Something to help them stand out more as compositional elements by  
shaping the tonal rendering in either monochrome or color might be  
worth exploring.
