Fantastic! DOF could be more inclusive of the near left foreground, but this is still destined to make the top 5 for sure. Wonderful capture.

Nice timing on catching the rays coming thru the clouds. Nice hayfield too! :-)

I like the composition and story being told here...not too crazy about the processing (it's a bit harsh IMO). Good luck in the challenge.

A +1 just because he's shooting a Sony! :-D

Very nice B/W conversion BTW. Good luck.

Woah! You must have had some really blown highlights around the guys feet! It's an interesting stack of rocks he's leaning on. :-)

First I must say this is wonderfully processed! I'm a sucker for the soft focus look and you nailed it. Absolutely perfect exposure, nice dynamic comp - I can't find one single thing to nitpik on! I gave this a 10 during voting earlier and coming back around to comment. After looking again I think I need to add this to my fav's! :-) See you on the front page at rollover. Congrats!

I really like this. One of my top picks (gave it a 10 earlier...coming back around for commenting). Very creative take on the challenge. I'm so glad you went this way rather than taking the easy studio/setup route. A very refreshing entry. Good luck in the challenge!

Nice comp, good choice for aperture setting to keep some bg detail, and great touch on the processing. A top pick for me (voted earlier, coming back around to comment). Good luck!
