Love the composition and clarity of this shot.. it gives a real taste of the "deep south" and certainly what I would expect to see in any guide book for the area.
Very nicely done.

You`ve used an "Artist`s eye" for this one !
Someone or something in either the immediate foreground or in the top third of this image would have made it perfect for me.
Very well done

Nice bit of humour in the title, to go with a nicely composed shot.

Go With the Wind

Beautiful image taken in the type of conditions that I have been hoping to encounter for quite some time (Bright sunlight against an inky black sky).
You have certainly made the most of this opportunity.
Very well done.

I like the way you have divided the image up into thirds.
Also the use of differing shapes in those thirds helps to keep the image interesting. Nicely done.

You did well to avoid using a conventional but boring viewpoint.
I like the way you`ve split your image diagonally...nice work

Nicely composed using the old fence and branches to lead to, and frame, your subject.
Good work

You`re almost right Ed.
Where you got it wrong was the bit about "CAREFULLY" selecting the background....c`mon, you know me, I`m too lazy to go to these lengths, I just use the blur tool and zap it. :)

If I did it, it`s got to be easy...no working with layers and altering translucency or any of that malarkey.The day I am unable to get the effects I want the easy way, is the day I`ll bite the bullet and start learning this game.

The composition and the complimentary colour scheme make this image outstanding.
Going into my favourites.
Beautiful work.
