Hi Andi
Thanks for at very good critique. It is a big help to improve my pictures in the future. By the the way, what is a PB?
Best regards
Thomas
PS: I think my next picture will just reach 6, but let's see.

Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club. First off congratulations on a new PB Thomas, that first 6 is just around the corner!
First Impression: Very close to being an excellent image, for me the colours, hue/saturation and shadows are a little too harsh when they should have been softer.
Composition: Not quite a central horizon but think a lower viewpoint and less sky would have helped the overall feel of the image. Placing the main bale in the bottom left of the image might have added as well.
Subject: I think the image might have suffered a little when you attempted to get the colours to be gold (and thus fit the title)
Technical: For me what lets the image down is the lack of detail in the front of the main bale and its screaming for fill in flash to complete the image. The only area in sharp focus on my monitor it the bale on the horizon and cloud to the right of it and for me the main subject should be sharp. I love the sky, nice rich blue with the whisper of cloud.
Final thoughts: A nice image, looks like late afternoon/early evening with the long shadows and hint of pink in the sky top left. The lack of detail and too central horizon (for me) lets the image down a little though the voters liked the image, its your pb (at the time of critique) and thats what counts so congratulations! |

| Either - Lose the dramatic shadows, or make the yellows/golds richer and grander. Still 7 |
