This picture hits the mark – tops, technically as well as artistically, this is the second 10 today – the lighting sold it far me. It creates a really great sense of devastation as well as age – my winner (so far) – good luckâ€Â¦

Trying to shoot this shot made me REALLY hate my camera. I constantly got a whole lot of redchannel noise in the whole picture, no matter what I did. I really think I got dinged (rightly so) due to the technical aspects of this, yet again. Trying to bring the color out in photoshop also brought out the redchannel noise, as well. I either need a camera that doesn't splatter my images with crap, or a crash course in photoshop. For jmseltzer's info, this photo was hardly cropped at all, maybe 5-10% of it was cropped.

Thanks for the comments guys.

I really like this photo. The composition is excellent, but I wish the color punched a little harer in this one. I downloaded this photo and played with some hue and saturation adjustments on one, contrast on another, and then finally made a black and white out of it. Each added some amount of punch to the photo. What I see that is difficult in this image is some amount of pixellation in the image. The only thing I can think of that may have caused this is either a digital zoom or this being cropped out of a much larger image possibly... = 7 - jmsetzler

This is a very nice photograph, a little on the grainy side but still good. In terms of texture, its slightly lacking. 6

This is growing on me. I started you out as a five (my I don't know what to think vote), but pondering this text is giving me time to really view this shot. The subtle color changes, the lonely stag, the dramatic change of texture from farm land to scrub brush. You should return to this spot in different seasons, there is a lot of potential in this site. I really like the stag tree, knarled and windswept. It could be a subject all by itself. I think the texture value of this shot is low mostly because of it's sublty, I am going to grade you up, but not a long way. 7 Swash
