Hello from the Critique Club!

This is really a nice rural shot, and I think it's a strong connection to the idea for the challenge. It's a nice setting with some interesting features - the silos, hills in the background, the greeness of the area against the white buildings and greenhouses. They all work well together here, I think.

I agree with everyone else that the biggest change I would make to this shot is to adjust the rotation to correct the "tilt". I might also like to see the colors brightened up just a bit, but others may have a different opinion on that.

Cropping seems to be okay. I might also crop out a little more on the left hand side to bring the focus more on the main part of your scene.

It's an nice entry for this challenge. I hope this has been helpful!

nice shot. would be better with some tilt correction...

Nice shot I think, except for the tilt. I would rotate a bit counter clockwise.

is it tilted slightly? when you have such strong uprights they can creat an illisusion of tilt even if they aren't. Better to straighten them. I like the composition, three silos, three white buildings, repeating hills. nice 7

Feels like this image is tipped clockwise a bit.

Image seems to have a strange tilt, although it is flat.

I like the impression but it feels to me that the vertical structures (silos, buildings, fenceposes, etc) are skewed by about 2 or 2.5 degrees clockwise. I think rotating the image back and recropping would have helped me to enjoy the scene more. Also the tree on the far left side extends into the photo and breaks the continuous skyline. I think it would be worth it to crop the photo so that those branches weren't in the photo; I know it would mean losing the leftmost silo but I think that would make a more compelling story. I do like this rural setting more (reminds me of where I live).

Horizon being unlevel is something I find unsettling, and it detracts from the shot.

Looks tilting from left to right.

It's all on a bit of an angle, rotation would have helped a lot.
