The Answer is Blowing in the Windby
bobonacusComment by ambaker: Critique Club Review:
Color, Saturation and Hue: Colors are bright, and fit the subject. Nothing is over saturated.
Brightness and Contrast: Both are done well. Nothing is blown out, shadows hold detail well.
Focus and depth of field: Focus is very sharp, depth of field is appropriate for this image.
Subjective: Meets challenge well. It's green and it is colored green. A two-for-one deal. Nice interpretation.
Things I would have liked to seen. Either more clouds or fewer clouds would have worked better for me. I liked the layered clouds in the bottom half of the picture. The puffy clouds at the right, distracted the eye and pulled it towards the edge. As did the tree at the right edge. If the windmill were more towards the left of the frame, perhaps the tree at right could have been used to provide scale. Cropping the tree out would have worked well also. As is, the windmill is a bit centered.
Overall a very interesting photo, a nice take on the challenge, and a well deserved top 25 finish.
