Hi! Hereâs a comment from the Critique Club.
First Impression:
My eyes went to the âwhat appears to be a bale of hayâ then to the white object on top then the cabin to the right then the cabins on the far hill.
Composition:
Nice classic thirds. I like the fact that nothing is centered. Given the foreground location, I assume the hay is your main subject.
Subject:
Meets challenge, but Iâm not sure what Iâm looking at. As mentioned by the voters, itâs a very nice landscape shot, and I agree, what a really nice location!
Technical:
Everything is a little soft. Nothing jumps out as being in focus. Assuming your bale of hay is your main subject, I would have expected it to be full of detail and in sharp focus.
Given the light, you could have closed down your Fstop and shot at a slower speed. F6.3 would have limited your depth of field. It also looks like you used center weighting for your light meter and focus setting. That would explain why the bale does not have better attributes.
Summary:
Congratulations on your 4th best shot with a 81% placement. I would have liked to have seen a stronger main subject. Something that jumps out at you, and catches your attention. I think the vista view and nice lines really carried this shot.

I like the carpet of green and the lonely ball of hay, The rolling countryside gives this a very deep feeling |
