This is a really nice landscape picture. Great depth of field -- everything is crisp and clear from front to back. 7

Sorry but this photo doesn't bode that well with me - it's just a field of hay? I am sure I am missing something here?

It's a nice composition, but it's a bit low on my WOW factor...I like it anyway, though!

I certaily agree that it fits the challenge - a lot of nature subjecta are indeed complex. The background is very bothersome for me due to the bight colors.

I think the low sun might have been wiping out a little detail. I'd like the stacks to stand out a bit more from the stubble. Beautiful colors and tones.

I'm not really a fan of Monet's haystacks... maybe this is why when I look at this photo and admire the long shadows and rich colours I wish I were there to point my camera at something else! The haystacks don't really stand out enough against the ground for the composition to really 'wow' me, and it's a shame the wispy clouds on the left don't really add much interest to the sky. The greens in this photo are a bit dull... I'd have livened them up a tad in PS. I think the main problem with the composition is that there is no clear POF... my eye doesn't really know where to settle and where to flow to. 4

That is a special shape of haystacks, never seen it before. Haystack images like this are done so often they don't create any excitement with me and neither does yours. It is a nice scene, with o.k. composition, and nice warm evening light, but no wow factor for me.
