very nice. but a little too dark and fuzzy. try this again with light coming back thru the dice to make them glow.

Very high contrast image. Trying to reconcile the title with what I'm seeing, and I'm not really sure why you chose to present it in B and W. It's almost as if you're being ironic, when you say it's 'at it's best'.

You've got a blown out sky, and sharpness seems a little low...The picture is really busy with all the tiny details, but there's not really a clear or specific subject. With all the contrast, it's got an old movie feel to it.

I'm interested to hear more about what you were trying to do. :)

Note: Do not take any comments in this review personally. They are only for the purpose of assisting with photography.

Composition: The trees in the foreground give the feeling that you are in the woods looking out at the cultivated land. I think this is effective in giving a sort of transitional feel. There's a bit of a jumbled feel tho as there is no ONE standout element to draw the eye. Maybe your horizon could have been a little lower in the shot.

Technical: the hay bales seem a little dark as if backlit slightly. Not too bad but that with teh trees makes the pic seem a little dark. There's a bit of softness to the image.

Overall a fine effort!

Composition: excellent. this image contains some strong compelling elements. the bench was facing out of the shot gives the impression of loneliness.

Technical: exposure is hot for the snow but that's prolly good under the circumstances as the rest of the scene looks right. The scene overall seems a little soft. I wonder if this was shot handheld? There's also too much red in the image. Your white balance didnt really do what it should. This could be corrected in an image editor.

Impact/Content: Overall, a lovely scene. With purer white (see white balance comment), and more sharpness, it could be suitable for framing.
