I really like the composition of this, and the energy of the guy on the right. One wonders what he's expressing, what he's planning to do if anything. Very nice exposure and contrast - i Like the blown out bit at the end of the tunnel.

Light was lovely for this and you've achieved the trademarked Yanko brown tones.

I like the warmth and simplicity of this. A lovely autumn day - nothing more complicated than that.

Comment by Melethia:
Excellent stop-motion and great timing to put him against the hillside, above and separate from the houses. I agree with Fiona - while the color is very nice here, it may work in B&W as well.

As with the others, you have done a fine job with this image. Changes? Maybe if the closer men weren't quite as centered and perhaps if you had been standing a little further left (or closer to the men) so the overhead lights would have created an angle through the image to draw you in.

The comments are suggestions that might have improved it, this is a nice image.

Very nice, I have yet to try one of these and look forward to the day that I can. I really like your work.

To me the one thing this image needs is for the bird to be looking more toward the lens.

Very nice affect, I like the feel and your perspective for the image, the clouds add.

Two thoughts....the image seems "unbalanced" with the rocks running dead center in the image. I would consider cropping part of the bottom of the image. The other is that it is obvious that the ladies are not standing still so you lose the affect of a coversation on the rocks. Instead there is a "lack of permanence" to the image.

Very nice, this has a smoothing message kind of affect.

Are those tame rabbits or did you happen on this?? If they are tame, it would have been nice if they were closer to the camera and a larger part of the image. I would have done a bit of cloning to remove the fence posts and the dark spots slightly below them.

Comment by rlewis:
I really like the feel and overall affect of this image.

My gut tells me that the image is slightly out of balance...the bloom should be up further into the image. I also feel that the bloom is too small in the image....maybe cropping, but not so much as to lose the overall effect.

I think you have caught the Japanese feel, but I wonder if a squarer crop would suit it better ?

Nice and gentle though with a good DoF.
