Landscape at a farm, rather than landscape

had not cropped the building at left. overall lack of impact, maybe more saturation could help

Comment by GrayGhost:
Too bad, the chain-link fence just kills this image, and the main cat subject is underexposed. Did you try going as close to the fence as possible with your lens wide open? With a moderately fast lens, the fence will "magically" disappear (except in the highlights, although you will suffer some loss of contrast and clarity).

Would have been even better if you could have gotten some nasty garbage in the shot, but I like the idea for this challenge.

Hello from the Critique Club,

Congratulations on a fine score on your first challenge entry. To start with, you did an excellent job capturing the detail in the grass using backlight. This detail, when combined with the fluorescence of the seed heads, helped you achieve the solid score you received. What kept this image from scoring higher is that many of the voters were looking for a lot more contrast then what is present in your image. Although your background is dark compared to the grass, it has a lot of gray tones to it that doesn't really covey the high contrast feel that many of the voters were looking for. Again, congratulations on a very solid score and I look forward to seeing more on your entries in the coming weeks.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.

Tim
