very interesting take on the challenge, that you would capture a subject that has stopped itself, rather than using the camera to stop a moving subject. i like the image, and admire your initiative; it will be interesting to see how you are rewarded. it's just a shame your subject is looking out of the frame...

The standing guy in the front really makes the picture.

To me, shockingly sparce yet beautiful. It reminds me of a Just So Story by the author Rudyard Kiping such as The Elephant Child.

Comment by pineapple:
That is a wonderful photo, not only because it evokes a rather wonderful desolate feeling, but that it is an age-old sight. When flax is left to rot on the ground, it stinks to high heaven. Flax farmers allow the fleshy parts to rot and then collect what's left, the fibrous parts of the stems. These fibres are processed, softened, and made, eventually, into linen. Linen is one of the older fabrics in use for clothing, book binding and much more. Nice photo! But where is the location? Did you see the flax field in flower? Azure blue fields - very photogenic against blue skies and adjacent to a yellow field of flowering Rape (call it Canola if you need a euphamism).

i'm not sure stopped motion is defined by taking a photograph of something not moving... ignoring the challenge implications, it is a nice picture overall, though the sepia tones do seem a bit light and flat to me... it's also a pity that we don't really see what the guy is looking at; oh we get a sense of some massive cathedral type place, but it seems like he's looking at stuff more interesting than what's in the frame (which is predominantly filled by the middle massive column, which due to it's lightness in shade over powers a bit)... 6.

This is a nice enough photo on its own, well composed and dramatic. But I don't really see it stopping motion.
