I've looked at this for quite some time now, and finally conlcuded i don't like it.
Lol, sorry.
It's the comic book colouring and the haphazard composition, just not to my liking.

Very interesting things going on here - I like the photo-copy feel to it.

I'm not entirely sure what "engulfment" means, but I like the way you've colored this.

This is very busy. It is good that you used a square crop for this otherwise within the constraints of allowable screen real estate you would have a mish mash of details. As it is it's just too busy. It confuses the eye. It doesn't know where it's supposed to end up.

Hmmm, I wonder if this pic would work better without the sign thrown in

What the heck is 'Engulfment Hazard'? Hang on...going to Google.......ok, I'm back. 'Engulfment Hazard - In many worksite situations, workers are at risk for engulfment hazards. Engulfment results when a worker is surrounded and overcome by a granular substance such as soil, sand, gravel, sawdust, seed, grain or flour or if submerged in a liquid such as water or a chemical. Engulfment causes physical harm when the material has enough force on the body to cause injury or death by constriction, crushing or strangulation. Respiratory hazards associated with engulfment includes suffocation from breathing in a fine substance that fills the lungs or from drowning in a liquid.'

Yoikes, note to self: signs are put there for a reason. Nice capture and cool pic!

Hey there from ME!

Looking back through this challenge, I was surprised to see that this shot was tossed so far down the list. I thought that this one was executed very nicely, while maintaining the the integrity of photography.

Camera Work/Technical: Nice job keeping all the elements of the image in focus. I really like the crisp tree silhouettes, as well as your chosen WB and post-processing that really pulled a nice sky color.

Lighting: Great use of available light, and/or post-processing, to build a unique silhouetted image. I also like the highlight on the camera lens, as it works well pulling the eye through the various elements of the image.

Composition/Content: I think your composition is the strong point of this image. I really like the centered composition paired with the abruptly angled framing that you developed. This also works very nicely to pull the viewer's eye through and around the image.

My Opinion: This was a well thought out, and even better executed image that fits this challenge perfectly. While 5.7 is a strong score, I really expected this one to finish near the top of the heap. The voters missed this one, but who am I to think i understand the voters? Very nice work, and, in my opinion, one of your personal bests.
