If the left side of the frame contains your main subject then it seems to be too dark.
03/17/2009 04:09:18 PM
Nice detail and lines. Good commentary piece.
03/17/2009 02:53:21 PM
Interesting shot, I feel like I'm looking at something historic, but I have to admit my naivety and confess that I'm not sure what.
03/17/2009 10:19:04 AM
Nice photo, and good black and white edit... not sure I understand how the title fits, but that doesnt take away from the shot at all.
03/17/2009 06:28:45 AM
Nicely processed B&W image. Lovely composition.
03/16/2009 04:43:14 PM
very nice tones...like your shot...good composition
03/16/2009 11:27:57 AM
I'm guessing this is the aftermath of a civil war re-enactment and the black grass is where the soldiers were standing. Interesting lines all leading to the back from the fence, grass edge and black patch. Nice composition.

a true gem!
03/15/2009 03:26:28 PM
Image feels a bit too sharp, but there is a good balance of whites and blacks.
03/15/2009 02:57:14 PM
Good pic. A bit brighter would even score higher for me.
03/15/2009 12:05:41 PM
A bit too contrasty for me, there's not much detail in the tree, ufortunately.
03/15/2009 10:31:10 AM
Very nice image. It's good to see a few "great" images. This is a perfect reflection of your abilities as a photographer.
03/15/2009 09:31:03 AM
crop out the left side
03/15/2009 06:46:11 AM
ok I change 4 from 3 its nice quality but not so interesting sorry\
;D brano
03/14/2009 11:13:48 PM
Interesting use of shadow. Like the fence.
03/14/2009 08:58:07 PM
good details captured , but lacking "wow" factor
03/14/2009 08:05:52 PM
Yes.
03/14/2009 06:22:11 PM
Evocative lighting. Great shapes and contrast in textures. Good dof. Bumped
03/14/2009 03:47:45 PM
Hm. I think more of an angle coming from the side by the fence would have been nicer.. have the fence lead the eye than that path of grass.
03/14/2009 01:47:05 PM
Excellent image, love the textures, detail and perspective.
03/14/2009 09:16:02 AM
Nice light and lines!
03/13/2009 08:21:23 PM
Nice textures.
03/13/2009 02:00:20 PM
good use of toning to set the mood
03/13/2009 01:31:37 PM
A very pleasant landscape. Dark and light split with fenceline mediating is pretty interesting.
03/13/2009 12:14:34 PM
interesting moody shadows
03/12/2009 08:21:21 PM
Good use of B&W and composition
03/12/2009 11:52:15 AM
Bold statement, love the lines, but I don't understand the red tinted area in the fence.
03/12/2009 11:32:24 AM
I think this photograph could benefit from a stronger composition.
03/12/2009 09:43:33 AM
nice give a sense of history
03/12/2009 05:53:16 AM
too dark at left, too much sharpening
03/12/2009 12:56:08 AM
Interesting shot, I would be curious to see it side by side black and white and color.
03/11/2009 10:24:33 PM
I don't really get the title here. A hard composition to photograph with the light and darkness on each side.
03/11/2009 09:41:59 PM
I'm not so sure about that reddish patch on the wood there.
03/11/2009 08:06:38 PM
Should've kept more details either in the sky or in the trees... or both. These Zone X+ and I- areas are void... and quite large.
03/11/2009 05:06:23 PM
Would haave been better in color
03/11/2009 10:33:58 AM
good image, but a little too dark, in my opinion
03/11/2009 08:53:25 AM
Nice composition.
03/11/2009 06:05:31 AM
nice country shot, works well in black and white
03/11/2009 05:29:45 AM
interesting.
03/11/2009 12:15:01 AM
not your typical DPC crowd pleaser - I really like it though. Good luck.
