You captured the tonal range well but the composition is a little weak. The rocks don't seem to covert to black and white so well - they seem a muddy jumble and it is hard to distinguish them.

I like the lighting. I think the composition is a little weak. Not a lot of midtones and a high amount of contrast.

It seems to me a lot of the midtones are missing here. This feels, to me, more of a high contrast image. That leaves the image a little flat.

I think you covered the tones very well. For this scene the image is composed very well. I like the argument with the tree - it works well and its lines are echoed in the fields and the mountains. very well seen. 7

Nice tonal range. Reminds me of an area of Santa Fe. Messing with the depth of field to hide the cars would have ruined the rest of the image. My only thought is that, with a person 2/3s down the way, the viewer's eye would be attracted to that rather than the cars. I love your tonal range, though, and the DOF and point of view. 7

Nice. I wish the midtones were just a bit brighter. That would allow me to see more into the image. 6

Good shot but there are no whites in this image. Adams made sure to cover all the zones.

I think you did a great job with the people. The only strange thing I notice is the mirror of the letters. The S-T-U are almost straight up and down. The rest of the letters veer off more and more to the right. Because you have the lighting coming from both sides, this just 'feels wrong.' It seems to be at an angle, when you look at all the lettering together and yet by size, it doesn't. Not sure which was to go, but I don't think it sits well as it is. Otherwise, this is great work!

I love this. It is like an anti-landscape, a message, a simplification of the messy world into lines and shapes and tones. And there is something about it, simultaneously dark and amusing, that holds my attention even with the lack of detail (kinda like when a friend slips and falls and you don't want to laugh but you have to try really hard to suppress a giggle because you know it is inappropriate but you also know that, even in that dark sad moment, life's absurdity is presenting itself and you recognize it...). Anyway, I am reminded of those walking monstrosities in star wars and, at the same time, the Pixar lamp, and the movie, "Where have all the People Gone?" (which greatly influenced my childhood sensibilities). And so, in the end, I consider this a very successful image. Thanks! 10 and a fav.

I'm really not a fan of the editing - I don't think it serves the image well. That aside, I think you found an excellent place to take this, and composed it very well. You made good use of what I can see of the natural lighting.
