nice colorful landscape, throw in a single fake green plant, but then again I see a lot of earth-dirt here. - 8

Nice field and moon rise. The shadow is a bit distracting, but it was sunset. The ground nor the sky are very much seperately, but togather, they make a pleasing photo.

Nice landscape with good color. I think the shadow (house? barn?) adds to the picture. Looks like a bit of sensor dust on lower left sky could have been cloned out.

Excellent work. I'm a little bit disracted by the big shadow in the middle to right, but it's not major. I think the moon definitely makes the picture. :) Great job.

Nice. I think the corners were burned a little too much, but this is a lovely landscape.
