fresh & new Is the sentence below correct? Can I use FRESH instead of NEW? I mean the rice was planted just now. I took a picture of this small hidden field with NEW planted rice this afternoon.

I think either way it sounds good, using freshly and newly would work just fine.

Yes I think fresh sounds even better than new but you would use "freshly" planted.

Since it is modifying "planted" (a verb) you would use the adverb "freshly" rather than the adjective "fresh". I do not think it needs a hyphen. You could also use "recently".

I took a picture of this freshly-planted rice field. Here is a picture of well-prepared and cultivated field that has just been planted with rice.
