Okay...not sure how people are going to react for the landmark challenge (my first member entry).

By definition, a Landmark can be "any prominent object on land that can be used in determining a location or direction." Hopefully the title will help...

May be a stretch, however really liked the dynamics of the green grass and blue sky to the left and yellow field and clouds to the right. First day we've seen the sun in almost two weeks!

Hope to be top 70th percentile :O

I have always wanted to take a picture of this tree lined road and today presented a great opportunity.

f3.5
1/350

Adjusted levels, USM, crop and NI.

My other image was a B&W of Bowmanville, Ontario's largest structure (water tower). Yep...life is pretty exciting here.

One of the most breath-taking shots I have seen in a LONG time.

Somehow I think you missed the topic of the challenge, but still captured a striking photo.

Not exactly the "typical" landmark so it will get voted down by some, but still a superb entry. You found the perfect lighting and the composed a wondeful composition to take advantage of it. Everything works! I hope the narrow minded voters see the talent it took to produce this classic.

Beautiful shot, but does not quite make the challenge for me.

I hope you tell us what it is that is buried by the first tree on the right.

Great lighting, stunning color. Like the lines in this photograph, leading into infinity.

Great colors and hues. The relevance of the title escapes me though. Overall a wonderfully picturesque composition.

Edit: Bumping up.

nice photograph, but I think it is off topic

I don't care for the relationship to the topic. Bordering the line there. The image is nice but not spectacular.

I like the color range, but the left sky looks strange. Nice composition with the one tree standing apart (or so it seems).

refreshing to see something other than statues and buildings, anyway. Great light, good time of day for it. The clouds are good, but could be more striking, and I think the top right area's brightness ditracts the attention from the progression of road and that tree - and compositionally your lines take the eye to it more stongly than the tree. Good work though.

So simple yet so NICE!!. Its great to see a shot like this without power lines in the shot, I have a million shots like this around my town but there are lines everywhere that ruin the shot. GREAT color and composition. 8

incredible range of colors. love your treatment of the clouds (or should i say non-treatment? they don't look overly burned or dodged. i mean, i don't have this most critical eye, but those clouds don't even look like you touched them up at all!).

i also appreciate your take on the challenge. i hope you don't hammered for not shooting a building or statue, because this is really an exquisite image. great timing, great job! good luck!

Very nice shot, but a bit of a stretch for a landmark. I love the color and shadows on the yellow field, and the sky is pretty much perfect.

I love this but what is the landmark since I can't see it
  Photographer found comment helpful.
12/06/2004 08:47:06 AM
I really love the colors and composition of this shot. I'm not seeing a strong connection to landmark, mainly because there are a number of trees here and it doesn't really stand out. Still, as a photo, I like it a lot.

This is a gorgeous scene, well captured... but considering all those trees are the same I wouldn't really say that any of them is a landmark - seems like a stretch to meet the challenge... Oh well, its a great shot so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt :).
