What is the 'subject' of this photo? What is the most important part of the image? What do you want your viewer to see?

That's a great picture, but how is it legal for this challenge if you shot it in April?

This is an excellent subject choice and composition. The tonality of the black and white is rather flat and lacking good contrast that might make it a truly fantastic photo :)

Greetings from the Critique Club...

Re-shooting previous images in your collection can be an excellent way to improve your skills. Over time, you will gain an understanding of how images can be improved based on your own learning and feedback you get from others.

Landscapes are difficult images to compose... You have to find a way to connect your viewer with a scene that they aren't familiar with. This image doesn't seem to have that connection point and there is no particular subject element that draws me in as an outsider to your scene. The time of day that this photo was shot doesn't lend itself very well to intriguing lighting. Most of the interesting detail in this scene appears to be in the shadows... Maybe an alternative perspective and time of day could be chosen to create something more magical about this scape...

This image is rather difficult for me to critique. I don't really see anything I don't like about it. It's a decent landscape shot. It's one of those photos that might be difficult for a random viewer (such as myself) to connect with. A landscape like this one generally has some interest to the photographer who shot it... something that comes from within... Maybe this is your property or a place where you grew up or just something you see every day that feels special to you in some way or another. As an outsider, I can't really connect with much of this scene. It probably is an interesting improvement over the original as intended by the challenge though.

In my personal opinion, landscapes are some of the most difficult photographs to make successful in the public eye. You need a strong subject or anchor point in the scene that really draws an outsider into your frame of thought. In my opinion, the light is the strongest part of this theme. I'm not as much of a fan of the sky tones, whether they be natural or post processed.

Very nicely done... I think that removing the potato in the lower right corner would make a perfect composition here. That one potato seems to break the continuity of the light and 'flow' in this photo.... still excellent work here... nice :)

This photo fits the challenge rather well in the subject of "Weathered" as this building is showing deterioration from its life in the great outdoors. Reading your own comment on this image, I can definitely see how this particular scene holds a place in your heart and mind. As I look at this scene, I keep asking myself how I could create an even stronger feeling of "Weathered" without losing the chosen subject...

The door to this barn appears to have a really weathered latch that might be worthy of a closer look. In my own photographic endeavors, I tend to look at any given subject in parts rather than as a whole. I always ask myself what part or parts of this object create its identity and give it the character that draws me in. When I determine those elements, I like to bring them to the foreground of a photograph as much as possible.

You might want to give this a try as well :)

Nice work...
