| Awesome trees - very "Texas". Congrats on a great shot (and knowing to convert it to B&W to make it a great shot) and the ribbon! |

| Love the scene but wasn't too keen on the heavy borders. Can't argue with that great result though. WTG |

Real nice finish Steve. A cool shot. Good eye to see and capture this. I'm glad the voters liked this as well.
I particularly like your quote in the post challenge notes : "It just proves that I have no ability to judge what will or won't have popular appeal. I just need to continue to enter what I personally like and let things sort themselves out." |

| Very nice scene, indeed. I'm not sure (I don't judge popular appeal well either), but I think the bold black borders may have given this the punch it needed to win. Congratulations. |

Congratulations on your ribbon. I think the trees act as more than just a frame for this image, as the shapes of the trees are an interesting element to view on their own.

When I start looking to shoot for this challenge, that was the thing was in my mind... not the trees though (trees are the point-makers here). I couldn't find anything that I can take photo of, so I took mine asking to the farmer his permission. I don't know why I feel very nervous if I ask someone's permission. The farm I took photo of was incredibly awesome if I spent more time. It was a cow farm actually, not a crop farm.
Congrats on your ribbon, very nice photo :) |

Wonderful shot!! Congrats on the red! |

| Nicely seen landscape and those silhouetted trees against the light reflected in the dust cloud thrown up from the plough is really dramatic. Very nice but the thick black border on top and below distracts. I think a thin plain black border would have been more effective. 7 |
