I'm not sure about the title (maybe i missed something) but i love the composition and colors in this images. You might see how you like it with about half of the bottom (between the bottom of the barrel and the bottom of the pic) cropped out to bring a little more focus up to the barrel and the deep sky.

love the image, but imagine that it is much better large than here at 640 pixels. the compressed details leave this feeling a bit more painterly than i prefer. the colors and composition are nicely seen, and you've done a good job with the lighting at that time of day. not quite sure about the title, but that's not an issue. good luck with this!

that is really pretty. I love the dichotomy of the natural beauty and the old trash can.

Nice composition and tonal values, but in my opinion a liitle too much blur was used. Good Work.

Great image with a good richness in tones and colors. Perfect exposure and good sharpness throughout. But it gets a 1 because it was taken with a Nikon ;)... (7)

A bit odd but I like it. Brilliant colours.

I very much like the way the colours on the barrel mirror the colours in the landscape top to bottom. The softness of the treeline and radiance of the colours is very attractive. The title is enigmatic but I guess it should be. Nice observation.
