Good capture of the rain. It would have been a little better if there was some rain dripping off the bicycle more.

The colours of the grass and bike stand out well and you have managed to not let them overpower the shot - nice composition

Good tones, good detail, and exposure is spot on. I don't find any sense of compositional structure in it, though: nothing to balance that corner of grass, but the reflected light in the negative space areas helps with the impression of an overcast day: but you have that already in the cap-stones on the wall. Better than most so far, though.

Thank You Gary Larson!

the bike is good as is the DOF. but i'd like to see more of bike where it would took the whole left part of the frame, leaving the right for the ground.

Lone Tree on the Hill

Critique Club Review:

Colors look a little over saturated to me. It could work as a painterly effect, except for the sky. As you've already noted, the sky is big, and empty. Unfortunately clouds to not appear on command.

I wonder what this would have looked like at sunrise or sunset. With the current lighting, it looks a bit flat.

Since the sky was not your friend this day, I would recommend less of it. A tighter crop, and closer in to emphasize the tree might have helped. I would suggest leaving the gate in, and cropping before the fence dissapears. As is, the line of the fence leads the eye down the hill and away from the subject.

OOH - birches are gorgeous with their white bark. We don't have those here, so I'm always drawn to them. A tad bright on the light, but so pretty anyway. This might be cool in black and white with levels adjustments.

Thank You Gary Larson!
