Thumb-down    from stu/Stuart (7,006) Send mail to this user on January 26, 2008 7:18:08 AM CST (2) Early critique

I am seeing quite a few problems with this shot. Firstly the foreground - the jumble of ploughed soil takes a large portion of the frame but is not visually appealing IMHO. An improvement might have been to use the furrows in the next section of field to lead into the photo as they has more organisation. Secondly the strong sunlight is producing dark shadows in the soil and especially in the village area. The contrast is too high to handle. Finally, the polarizer may have helped with the clouds but has produced an uneven darkening across the frame in the blue areas of sky. Even if you cropped some from the top and re-edited with less contrast you would still have the problem of the foreground. Good luck and keep shooting.

Turk.. nice colour photo composition but to many soil unworked is taking away the beautifull but lone gone lanscape. perhaps an horizontal view could it be better. Carolina.
