The color palette diminishes a bit in my view the intention of this shot. Perhaps a B&W would be beneficial.

it looks less barren and rather ready to cultivate

Interesting choice of composition. The letter box style is really messing with my mind. It's making me want to see more into this photo.

Also, I think a quick DeNoise could have really helped clean this up.

I like the composition, very strong lines, and interesting points on all the 3rds. I also enjoy the strong horizontal nature of the shot, but I don't think that the huge black borders or the large white stripes add to the shot.

The blown out sky at the end leaves me wanting more. The field has the golden sunkiss of evening light, yet the eye travels to that blank, white sky.

eta: I just came back to visit this and rethought the picture. If I evaluated the picture for leading lines only, the white sky would act as a stopping point. But as a representation of minimalist art, I can break it down into it's fundamental parts a little more... red field with vertical lines, thin strip of landscape, white horizontal sky. I can bump up my score a bit for that.

This is absolutely spectacular! Inspires me to get out this summer at our local pool and shoot the dive team.

I loved the idea. I wonder whether it would have been stronger with different positioning of the face/eye and the light (so the nose didn't cast a dark shadow into the eye socket). Voted 8 and really think it should have done better.
