I LOVE how misty and surreal this photo is! This would be a gorgeous wall print. It's really one I could stare at all day.

After comments in the forum about this challenge I went and calibrated my monitor. To my despair, what I thought was solid dark black in this photo turned out to be lighter and smudgy. I am simply amazed at my score with my new found knowledge, but thank everyone that voted and commented.

the lighting works for me, and I like the pattern, which is even more engaging as you did it in a clever and unusual way..

no. its one duck and his reflection. I like the lighting on (or through) the duck. Ther is a bit of grainyness to it and highlights along the edges that make it a big jagged.

Critique Club Review

Note: Do not take any comments in this review personally. They are only for the purpose of assisting with photography.

Composition: The trees in the foreground give the feeling that you are in the woods looking out at the cultivated land. I think this is effective in giving a sort of transitional feel. There's a bit of a jumbled feel tho as there is no ONE standout element to draw the eye. Maybe your horizon could have been a little lower in the shot.

Technical: the hay bales seem a little dark as if backlit slightly. Not too bad but that with teh trees makes the pic seem a little dark. There's a bit of softness to the image.

Overall a fine effort!

Good shot overall, too bad you caught a pole in there. Kinda changes the nature feeling.
