Country roadby
marvinComment by Rikki: Greetings from the Critique Club
Composition:
Good composition and falls exactly in the Rules of Thirds both horizontally and vertically.
Subject:
This image lacks a visual interest. The path of your country road is strong and is a great candidate for leading lines. However, as the viewer's eye traverses this path, there is nothing for me to focus on. My eye is led past the frame.
Post-processing:
I think you can adjust the levels a bit more to saturate the color of the road and bring a bit of color to the grass and weeds. I think a bit of burning would do wonders for the sky. Since this was an advanced challenge, you can select the sky and bump the color saturation so it doesn't appear to be too overcast.
My Final Thoughts:
Personally, I think that this image has a lot of potential behind it. The lack of a "subject" might be where the pitfall of this image comes in. With the expectation sof DPCers set at a fairly high mark, this shot appears to "snapshot" for some probably.
This image meets the challenge in my opinion and your title is on the mark.
