Comment by Olyuzi:
The sky and lighting of this early/late day shot is evocative and even eerie, but the forground is too dark to complete my appreciation of this very interesting image. With such a prominent subject (the fireplace) I feel that it's not about rural Austrailia, but rather about the lack of a house attatched to that fireplace, and what that represents. IMHO, I think this shot would fit more a surrealistic challenge. 7 because I really do like this shot despite it's technical flaw.

i like the overall feel of this photo. The clouds and the horizon provides a lonely look to the main subject. The abandoned chimney gives an "easter island" look. 8

I just love the ominous clouds and the desolate landscape. I do see this as a good cover for your magazine. There seems to be a lot of room for the title, side pictures & captions that are on news stand magazines. So far, this is the best layout in the group that I've seen so far. It could go up as is. Good job! 10

This is an excellent subject! Just beautiful. I would suggest rotating the picture clockwise and recrop so that the horizon is level.

Holy cow. What an incredible place. You could really have a lot of fun with this setting for all kinds of photographic potentials... As far as the challenge goes, I think you've done very well. Interesting subject matter, great clouds, great composition. Maybe a bit on the yellow side, but overall I like this very much!
