Center of interest is too close to edge

What a landscape! A composition all the stronger because the distant fence carries the eyes to the main interest in ine sweep. Bumping up.

The branch on the left edge is distracting. It blocks the "little house".

The branch on the far left of this photo is distracting. I would try cloning it out.

that tree branch on the side is a little distracting from the overall openness of the rest of the photo

Greetings from the Critique Club.

Composition: The composition of the photograph is very interesting, if I squint my eyes I can almost make out letters in the shadows of the paper clips. I have read some of your previous comments and have to agree that a diagonal composition would have strengthened the photo. Also by cropping out the dark corners you would have led the viewers eye more clearly to the subject.

Colors:You soft muted colors are very pleasing to the eye, much like a late afternoon shot would.

Lighting:The direction of your lightening lead to the great shadows, and prevents this from being a flat photograph. I like the interplay of light with the paper clips, very interesting

Overall: Overall this is a nice picture but not overly interesting. It does not hold my interest for too long. A tighter crop would help by removing too much empty space. Good luck in subsequent challenges.

Interesting. Nice creative concept. I like the dramatic shadows. I'm thinking though that maybe applying the rule of thirds or placing on a diagonal line would make for a stronger composition?
