Intense concentration? Or shyness because the picture is being taken? I think that a crop to the shoulder would focus the image a bit more.

great tones in this. for some reason though, the tree in front of the sun looks a little strange, maybe like it was oversharpened, but maybe that's just my monitor.

Little bit more of the grass would help the composition IMO. Nice Colours.

Hi from the Critique Club,

This one caught my eye when looking through the entries. My first thought was that this is the type of picture where a little HDR would bring help bring out detail in the shadow areas.

I like the curves, subtle but certainly present. The warmth of the road contrasts nicely with the cool blue outside. IMHO, what really knocked you down(speculation here ;)) is the way the picture feels very heavy on the right side because of the shadow areas. Just a touch more detail would have improved the picture greatly.

And, maybe the curves were toooo subtle! To bring them more into focus, I suspect a vertical crop would have helped... just keep the middle third of the picture. Personally I don't find the noise to be any big deal.

Keep Shooting!

Mark
