Hello! I think you are asking for help on this image. If so, then the challenge of this situation is "dynamic range." If you properly expose the sky, then the field is too dark. If you properly expose the field, then the sky is overexposed & that is what happened here. You might be able to fix this in Photoshop or some other editing program. You can reduce the exposure by two stops or so & then use "fill light" to recover the field. A better solution might be to shoot 3 or 5 bracketed exposures (-2, -1, 0, +1, +2) and then combine them using Photomatrix Pro, Photoshop, or some other tool that creates HDR (high dynamic range) images.
