I would like to have seen alittle more of the uniform to be more convincing. I love the b&w and the mist adds interest.

Overall I like the feel of this image. B/W was a good choice. It's a shame about the powerlines. ;^( Wonder how this might have looked in a full silhouette? The rider is already pretty dark. Just a thought. Good luck in the challenge.

Not sure, but it seems there are power lines in the shot, spoils a very good photograph. Would have voted a 10 if these were not there.

I think if you cut out part of the background it would have been a better picture. Love the pumpkins and their colors.

Comment by HVGB_photos:
Complementary colours are pairs of opposite colours that contrast strongly when compared to each other. The challenge called for two complementary colors to compose your photograph but in your photo I see a range of reds, oranges, yellows, greens and blues that give a brilliant effect of colour, but not the effect of tones of a single predominating colour against tones of its opposite or complementary colour.

I think your submission would have been a stronger demonstration of complementary colours if you had chosen a subject with two main colours that are complementary to each other. For example, perhaps you could have cropped the subject to show the scarecrow's blue pants with orange pumpkins in front, or if you had shown green vegetables against the red barn, or the bales of hay with some brighter yellow produce against the sky.
