You had some stiff competition ad you stil managed a top 40 finish! Good work!
I like this shot very much.... it relaxes me...
THEME: respected hands up!
COLOR AND FOCUS: both are spot on. From the light beige to the darker browns mixed in with some white, grey and a touch of blue. Magnifique!
COMPOSITION: I see research in this shot, especially with the angle chosen. IMO your crop is good. Cutting out more reeds would've lost the magestic quality of them.
All in all a great shot! Even the border fits! Keep up the good work!
how you envisioned this out of a whole field is amazing. the subject stands out and the effect of the wind is so prominent - it's easy to imagine myself there, arm outstretched!
Great weather shot, those clouds look as they're just about on the stormy side. And you've actually captured the wind in those reeds, well done. I would have prefered the crop a little lower so that there's more sky in the image, but other than that a pic to be proud of!
Very nice shot. I like the angle that it was shot at. Nicely focused and shows depth. Does meet challenge. Will score high, I'm sure. Good luck this week.
I must say I always try to take pictures of these very same weeds (name?) and I can never get them to come out just right. I'm jealous, you've simplified the mass of weeds, without losing the detail of them - And it meets the challenge.
