(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) I find the layout of this photograph to be interesting but lacking in strength. The old building to the left really draws my attention, but it is rather a small part of the entire photo. I want to see more details, and wonder if you could have gotten closer and made that more of the subject.
(2) BACKGROUND The background in this photograph is the sky which is a beautiful shade of pastel pink. It is a beautiful backdrop for the bare tree, almost turning into a filigree cutout. I am a little disturbed by the power lines and pole. They ruin what otherwise could have been a great and powerful image.
(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL Exposure is very well done considering the time of day that this was taken. There are so many facinating details that one really must look this photograph for a long time. I keep going back to the old building and wishing I could see more details. If you had gotten closer, you could have cut out the power pole and made the tree and building the prominant subject of the photo. This would have added to the amount of details visible.
(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL Did you try cropping this as a vertical (i.e. portrait style)? This would have cut out the disturbing aspects and brought the building and tree into closer view. I might suggest that you try this if you haven't, just as a little experiment.
(5)MEETING THE CHALLENGE This photo does a fair job of meeting the challenge. Normally man made objects are not considered "landscape" photography, but in this care I think one can look past that.
(6) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO The subject here is nice. I would love to see what you could do with a few changes to the cropping. Good capture. |

| I like the coloration a lot. I wonder if this wouldn't have worked better as a portrait style shot, cropped just right of the tree. Nice job. |

| I can see what attracted you to take this shot, but was totally disappointed when the power lines started to come into view, they are usually a big no no when shooting landscapes. I liked the pastel look to the photo and the old building. |

| The barn in the backgroung has a lot of potential as an interesting foreground for a landscape composition. Trees and wires one sees everywhere. The dry winter ground vegetation also has charms that this dull uniform sky has'nt. good choice of location but not very well exploited. this is a scene viewed many times, include something unique in it to captivate your audiance |

| Hmmmm. Powerlines = no good. Not low enough to the ground. |

| If you could take out the power lines, center the tree . It would help . But they might have arrested you for chopping down power pole's. Power lines and sometimes wire fences are a big negative . |

| I love the atmosphere in this picture but, for me anyway, it is let down slightly by the composition. The building on the left is what really grabs my interest and it seems a pefect focal point, in line with the general tone of the picture. However, every time I try to scan across the image, the tree in the centre just seems to get in the way and obstruct the flow, bringing my eyes back to the foreground.. |

| I love the water color feel of this shot. I think the barn and tree are the real stars of this shot and would almost rather see it as a vertical crop of just those two - although lots of the traditional landscape voters might disagree. Needs a tad more ground so that the trunk isn't cut off. |
