Great capture of a barren tree in a barren field. The grain gives this a grungy and old, laying forgotten feel. Even the tractor sits lone out in this field where only the crows gather in the bare branches to squawk there noisy chatter. Only one critique/observation and that is a think the grain might be teensy bit heavyhanded as seen more in the sky.

Oh, this is splendid. I like how everything is placed in the frame and the wonderful muted colors. On the verge of winter (as it feels), but still retains autumn. Great stuff.

To me this speaks of boating on the river has ended for the season. Fall leaves lay scattered on the shore (ground) while the boats lay 'beached' til the season turns warm once again. The weathered window reflects back the rust/brown hues of Autumn.
