Comment by Antithesis:
I must be brutally honest here. I hate the text color and font; it's just gaudy. And the framing of this pic needs to pull back and show the whole building, or move to a different perspective.

Fits the catagory well, nice color, composition, and detail. Well done! (Possible critque: Remove the large twigs or branchs at the upper left - in front of the hood and fender - but then again, that may make it look to neat..... I am so confused).

Comment by magnetic9999:
since the text is placed right, try right justifying it. also the yellow is overpowering

Comment by Zeissman:
it would look better if you would have removed the branch from in front of the hood. 7

Wonderful photo, of the Opryhouse. The angle you captured this at keeps it from appearing to be a falling building. well worth a 10.

A real fixer upper. Could be more saturated.

Composition - Appropriate time of year for this pic. I think if you did this one around Aug. people would think you're nuts. In April, its very good. I think there is just a little too much going on in this pic. I think you're fine with the rabbit and the eggs, but I really don't like it on the grass and the lighting is really flat. I think to add a little more emotive touch this would be a good studio shot with soft lighting and the basic black background. The grass I feel just makes it too busy.

Technical - This is really sharp and well taken. I just don't think the exposure yields the kind of image that it could in less of a natural setting. There is nothing "wrong" at all with this pic, but I think it could be done better.

Overall - Great idea, and well taken, but I think you didn't maximize the potential of this subject by putting it in natural light due to the flatness of the pic. I think there are more fruitful ways to go about this pic to make it more emotive. This is a pic I wanted to do well, but just didn't have that little extra it needed to catch the viewers attention. Good luck in future challenges - Bob
