is it a wine grower?
this is very artistic work. The empty space makes the sky appear so vast. The person walking towards the field with his head bowed made it look like the work is tough. This one will look great as a motivational poster.

sharp, clean image. but that doesn't explain why this photo draws me in so much. Might be the interesting shapes of the plants (fruits?). I like how you desaturated off certain areas and colours - very tastefully done.

nice candid :)
looks like a very relaxing afternoon for the gramps and kids.
very spontaneous shot. Good work (I especially like the timing where you caught the 2 boys drinking at the same time, it's cute)

one of those photos that makes my eyes hunt for a place to stop, but couldn't! Really impressive use of monotone. As mentioned, I really liked how nothing appeared to be the subject in the photo - everything is good to look at!

Comment by crayon:
I liked the distance from the viewer to the house on the far side. It creates a sense of belonging. Everything, from the trees and snow on the ground gives a very still and quiet appearance to the photo. A wall-hanging worthy photo. I like it.

I wish there were a reference point to determine that there is stopped motion. Cool picture though, made me stop and comment!

This is interesting. Hard to tell if there's really any motion being stopped or not with the black background. In theory, he could be just on his back. I bring it up not to belittle your image but to make a point on how viewers/voter's could perceive this. That's all. I like the color tones in this - makes it easy to look at. Best of luck to you in the challenge.
