| I really like the composition of this photo, the tree and the door really balance each other. I think the only thing I would do is probably burn out the detail in the lower part of the wall (the band at the bottom). Burning can really give you some depth to the photo too. I think it really suited the challenge also. |

Simple composition, reminiscent of a water color.
The reason it didn't do as well as you expected in the challenge was that it was in the wrong challenge. You admit in your details that you forced it in via title.
Personally I would have found this a very interesting entry in Landscapes My first impression was using it as a visual compliment to Joyce Kilmer's "Trees". |

Hey I remember seeing this one before. I like the composition of this photo. I also like character of the "rough around the edges building."
I think this one might look better without the tree's shadow, it makes that area of the photo very busy. Maybe you could also bump the contrast and saturation a little in post editing. |

I figured it was some part of the stadium. I loved the picture and it did make me go "What' when I first read the title and then looked at the picture.

| I was puzzled about the title, too, but since I don't give a darn about baseball, I figured I wouldn't get the connection under any circumstances, and I didn't let it bother me. The enigmatic building and door were enough of a "What?" for me. |

| I tell you what....the title along with the photo made me say "what" is he trying to say. Since I'm a big believer in making the photo match the challenge I'm giving you a 9 |

| Hmmm, not being a baseball fan, I have no idea how your title fits this photo. I like the lighting and shadow cast by the tree, but the subject matter doesn't hold my interest as well as other entries in this challenge. |

OK, this photo makes me go "What?!" because I have no idea what the connection is between the photo and the title given to it.
If I just give some advice to improve the photo, though:
First, I'm not sure what the subject of this photo is. Is it the tree? Is it the door? Is it the pile of sand? Nothing stands out in it. It would be better if the photo was composed with bringing out the subject in mind.
Second, there's very little depth to it. The tree looks almost as flat as the wall behind it. I think using a wide angle lens setting and stepping closer if you wanted to make the distance look the same would improve that (I'm under the impression that a telephoto was used here).
Finally, consider taking the photo at a time of day when the light is a bit more interesting. From the shadows, this looks like it was taken in the early afternoon. Mornings and late afternoons/early evenings tend to bring the most flattering light.
Hope this helps. Good luck! |

| There is nothing that really stands out to me in this emage. No great colors or textures. I do think that maybe if you took a close up of the door to include the grey and a little grass, it would have been more striking.Maybe if you could have focused more on symmetry, line, and texture in that right side of the photo. |

| I hate to tell you, but they lost in the 9th. I do like the architecture of this shot. It might be fun to play with it in black and white with high contrast. The simplicity of it works for me. |

| this photo is pleasing to me, the composition. The title makes no sense, I think the 'what' factor is supposed to be more in the photo than the title, but the photo makes no sense to me either so it's ok. 7 |
