Signs of the times by the roadside.

You should submit a picture a little closer to the allowed maximum, as that is much more effective in presentation. Looking at this picture: the colors seem a little washed out, and it might have been better composed if the mailboxes were on the right side of the picture, and part of the road on the left...anything that didn't have the mailboxes smack dab in the middle.

The building in the back detracts a good deal. Have you considered a tighter crop without the left side, and black and white?

To me, this looks like a photo of the cat in this setting, rather than of the landscape. The lighting is rather dull as well.

Comment by Lustre:
The house roof in the background for some reason grabs my attention and makes me think this is a backyard. Also, because it's such a close shot it looks more like a wide shot of the cat rather than a landscape. On the plus side, colours and exposure are pretty good, especially for what looks like an average day in terms of weather.

Nice shot. Looks like I see two kitties, right? (the one I think is there is very close in color to it's background, hard to see it) The stuff on the pond's surface obscures the neat reflection (I know you can't do anything about that, but it does). The tree blooming in the background is nice, but further back is a building that I could have lived without. Good color, details seem less than crisp. 7 Swash

The white buds seem a little blown out in exposure. Too bad there were buildings in the background. Like the reflection and the blossoms floating and the kitty for interest and perspective.

The house behind the trees is too distracting. And the cat is also a distraction, as it is too small to really be a focal point. better luck next challenge. md

Kind of a sad little park. Is that a cat? I'm looking at the water, thinking it looks overrun by gunk, but it looks like it might just be the little white flowers off the tree that have fallen into the water? The color is good, but the sky is a little too white. Looks kind of dulled by lighting conditions? Focus and clarity seems just fine to me. Good luck in the challenge.

I think for a Flora and Fauna pic w/ cat this would fit the challenge.But its not really a landscape. Think of hwre your eyes travel here also , As a tip The building in the upper left is distracting. The tangled brush isnt very appealing either. Its a great attempt keep at it.
