Contrast the landscape

Having, like others, read the photograph as romantic and picturesque, you could play with different techniques that draw out the ethnographic import of the image. I could imagine that contrasting the photo with a representation of agribusiness (an ad, a logo, another photograph) could work well. Miriam has an intreresting image in her set that also depicts toxic farming practices, but it's a graffiti mural. How do the two images differ? They certainly both riff on depictions a bucolic and romantic landscape.Also, you could also play with the "mood" or "feeling" produced by the image, by adding different filters or colors. Not so much for aesthetic reasons but more to think about what affect to achieve in your viewers.
