I really love this, as you can see that it has stood time really well, except for the aged and broken feel to the buildings. The overgrown grasses and shrubs add to it appearance, and its use by date. The blue creek or river, really adds interest to the windswept country scene..... Well done..... This would have also suited the "COUNTRY LIFE ll" challenge as well.....

Pretty - but too much background takes away from your subject.

Not a bad finish Brian! And I think it was one of the better shadows in the challenge :) Way to go.

First impression is that the horizon is a little off - but I'm not sure if that is an optical illusion!? There also appears to be a stray branch/blade of grass just above the tank that looks a little odd. I would have been tempted to crop most of the top of the picture out as there is little of interest in it, but perhaps you tried this and decided the trees would not look right.

i like the way the frame is split by the pond. loss of detail in shadow is a bit much given it is daylight. otherwise i like it!

Way to go: Broken in a wonderful, beautiful scene. The best of both worlds. Nice rich colors. I love this one!

It's a pretty visual, but without the title, I wouldn't have any idea it was broken. Maybe a close up with missing parts would have depicted it moreso. The colors are pretty. Nice perspective, but this doesn't look "broken" to me. Hope this is helpful.

I love the striking colors in this, and your use of the Rule of Thirds makes it so interesting to look at. I love your title too. Definitely gives new beauty to the letter "O". Good luck!!!
