too much sky. I would already know it's blue with 1/3 of it. Law of 1/3's.

The resolution is excellent here, even with the 640x480 crop. I like the blue tones in the sky, but the time of day also casts more shadow on your scene. I would prefer a bit more light in the valleys, but it is also nice the way it is. Nice work.

One thing I like in this photo is the dazzling effect on the car windshield in the distance. Something about the focus (or lack thereof) detracts from the effect. I do like how long the path streches out...helps emphasize a long hot day.

I really like the lighting and contrast of the bowl.

I"m not sure everyone will 'get' that this is a pipe. It took me a second to figure out what it is. I'd be interested to see it shot landscape instead of portrait and perhaps be able to see inside the pipe bowl. With landscape orientation I might have tried placing the pipe diagonally as well.
