Love the field it has great color and the bush adds great contrasting color, grass has great character and color variations, not a fan of the unrealistic sky though.

Nikon S6500Inspiration
Honestly my family and I were going to shoot a friends truck for Trucking Magizine. When we reach the top of this hill I saw the tall grass blowing in the afternoon wind and thought what the hell and pulled my little Nikon out of my pocket. I reached out the window of my truck and snapped a series of shots. This one came out the best. The truck was in motion which is why only this shot came out so clear. The rest are motion blurred.Editing
I did post processing on the shot. I replaced the blue sky with the purple hues. And excentuated the details in the grass to make it appear more life like, to give it a sense of movement.In my camera bag
I usually have my Nikon S9500 with me at all times. When I plan to go out for some shots I bring my Nikon D610, Nikon 50mm AFS, Nikon 24-70, and one of my favorite Manfrotto pistol grip tripods.Feedback
Just snap shots when the gut tells you too. Doesn't matter if you have a pocket camera like I did or a full size DSLR. Great shots happen all the time when you least expect it. Even when your going 30mph on a bumpy road with your arm out the window! Lol...
