Love the block shapes and the parallel lines. It accentuates the movement of the blocks falling over. The exposure is great - wide range of tone in the shot. And the green grass growing on top is just the right amount of colour.

Oops...I would say a bit of moisture got to these bales. Best throw them away now...can cause gut problems with the stock.

I like the composition and patterns created, but I don't see what is "unexpected" here?

oddly ineresting. the diagonal line of the one hay bale keeps it from looking too static, and the grass provides a great pop of colour.

Green grass growing ... cool. This is interesting, it looks like post adjustments darkened the shadows but too bad the slight center hot spot wasn't fixed at the same time.

Good range and color. A bit of a hot spot there in the middle, but very minor. Very sharp, and interesting. :)

A bit oversharpened for my taste. Nice abstract, though.
