Last minute entry as weather conditions had been bad but i was quite pleased with how this turned out. Perhaps some people will not see it as a landscape? A rural landscape is how i'd see it so i hope it meets the challenge.

Hey there from the Critique Club

My thoughts on the image: I like it, but I don't think that it fits well into the landscape challenge. The toning is nice and I really love the interest that is contained within the capture. The processing is near-perfect for the subject matter. The various textures you managed to capture truly are amazing if you give your eye time enough to explore the image.

My ideas for improvement: As far as the image as it is, there are not many areas that I would alter the shot. I like the detail you capture, and the various textures paired with the array of leading lines keep my eye moving from one interesting item to the next. I would like to see the sky with more interest and better exposed. As it is, it does compete with my eye attention with the rest of the image.

Where I would have/did score this entry: I did not vote on the entries of this challenge, but my vote would have probably fallen the range of 4. I do see the rural setting well, but I have grown to expect more land in a landscape image.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric

Fantastic composition with very effective processing giving nice contrast and texture to the objects in the image and very nice sepia conversion.9

In my book, first-rate. I am sure most are questioning whether this even IS a landscape, but for me it works. 10

Like the stark contrast. The image appears underexposed a wee bit

I'm always fond of old rustic buildins but maybe a tidge too dark?
