Your horses are kind of blending with the dark background.

The dark behing the animals is nice as it the lighting on the grass. The biggest detractor for me is that there are 2 horses and it is difficult to seperate them graphically.

Nice shot. Not much of a silhouette though. I like the lighting and composition.

The lighting in this is very lord of the rings-esque. If you have a look at their tail and the top of the bodies, it looks as if it has been over-sharpened quite a bit. Not that it really matters, the picture works perfectly (9)

the bodies are blending together a bit too much for me but the shadows in the grass look great IMO

Thank you Michael it's not any roots or brush or anything, it's a tree as I mentioned in the descrption, and it's a huge one so I really had no other background option than the verry bright sky that whas available that day. It's beyound me why it grew like this, I'm not sure if everyone knows, but it's supose to be a normal weeping willow, that's why people here are continously amazed with it, and it became sort of a landmark in my city. I made it sepia because as spring starts to show up it had some green branches, that were looking a bit distracting, other than that overall it is not verry different from the original, the brown colors are 99% the same, and I really can't see any difference between the cloudless and too bright sky here and in the original.

Although I am not sure exactly what this object is, it appears to be the roots of a tree or bush. The more solid masses on the left, top, and right side combine to form an arched shape framing the sparser, more finely divided branches in the center and creating a nice composition.

To me, the shapes and colors of the image convey a somewhat somber feeling, which could have been enhanced with a slightly darker background. The brightness of the background is a bit over exposed and causes the finer root structures in the center of the photo to loose definition. The dark shadowed areas at the top and the variations of light striking the roots provide a nice range of tones. I think this image was a good choice for conversion to sepiaĆ¢€”a technique much overused on this site and one I normally do not like. However, in this particular photo it seems to complement the subject nicely. Although, I still wonder how the photo looked in its original colors.

Overall, this is a very good photo that does a superb job of meeting the difficult criteria for the Chaos challenge. I offer you my congratulations for winning the blue ribbon. It was well deserved.

Regards,
Mick
