Greetings from the Critique Club.

You have presented us with a wonderful minimalist shot here. At first glance one perceives a cold lonely, abandoned feeling of the piece of farm equipment. Very fitting of the Challenge.

Studying the shot in depth, the time of day that this was shot casts a nice shadow that adds to the effect nicely. The angle and placement of the subject are such that it leads us through the frame which makes this simple shot appealing.

If there is a distraction in this shot, for me it would be the footprints in the snow in the upper right corner. Personally, I would rather see no sign of (recent) life in a shot of this nature. As I'm drawn to the subject, my eye picks up those footprints in the corner and wants to bring them to focus taking us past the subject. The snow covered trails add texture/flow but do not draw attention and are integral to the shot.

Finally I would like to see a little more sharpness on this shot. Not only would it add a little pop to the cold steel equipment but I think it would add a little more life to the snow.

Very nice shot and a tough one (snow) to shot... Congrats on a wonderful shoot.

I like the off centeredness (if that's a word) of this one. The simlicity works well too. It looks as though it could use some sharpening though (USM).

Very nice shot. Composition is very simple and uncluttered. Snow is tough - good job.

I like how I can see more detail the more I look at this. Shadows in the snow, tracks and trails, old and new. Nice composition and subject.

Almost like a skeleton, frozen in the snow. I like what was once a trail that's now covered with new snow and the new footprints in the upper right corner. The shadow of the metal adds a bit of extra texture to this simple image. Upon second review, I'm bumping it up. 8
