can't figure this one out at all. Don't know what I'm supposed to be seeing or looking for. Not even interesting to look at. Sorry but it's a 1.

Comment by stephan:
Thank you for your comments. Actually I'm pleased with the score. It's an average photo and personally I thik that the tree in the foreground could be a bit sharper. I rotated the image a little bit in postprocessing and I thing that made it a bit blurry overall.

I don't really agree about the centered barn. What I liked about the photo are the three different "layers" depth-wise. From left to right the tree, barn and horizon. So to me it made sense to crop the photo so that the tree fills the left side, the barn is centered and the little trees in the background on the right side.

hbunch7187: Yes, your eyes were playing tricks on you ;-) The photo is just black & white.

Thanks again,
Until next week.

I like this very much. Very moody...cold, isolation, barren. Being bright causes the contrast of the tree to be silhouetted...very nice.
The composition could be improved with a simple change of perspective. The barn being centered is not the most appealing. But I do like the way the branches frame the barn on one side.
You show several dimensions here...foreground grasses, tree, field, barn, more grasses, horizon, sky. Nice.

Azrifel, I understand it must have been difficult ;-)

The spot in the yellow probably could have been avoided if I wanted to. But spotlessness is the opposite of what was actually my goal ;-) The spot is in the material, which was a banana leaf lit from behind.

The curve was an accident by a buckling in the leaf. It had no reference to the lyrics, but your associations are interesting :-)

Thanks,
Stephan
