A spooky image that meets the challenge

I like your different approach in choosing three portraits and compositing them together like this. The actual execution of it is rather lacking in finesse but this is one of those rare occasions that actually adds to the end result. The way the right ear of the middle portrait overlaps the first one is an example of what I am referring to, the cuts are all ragged but again the way they are appearing out of the black has let you get away with it because of the nature of the challenge. I like that you have used the diagonal for your composition it makes it more dynamic.

Good idea, well done. Thanks for your submission, Sid

An appealing image hat partially meets the challenge.

To clarify my position, I think your image has an element of Ansel Adams hallmark in that it features the wide open landscape but as some of your commenters have expressed it doesn't have the clarity of detail that you would associate with him.

Your composition has some good elements for example, I like your placement of the wagon, but I'm not sure about the pole bottom right. I like the light on the foreground bushes and I like your range of tones throughout. In general the scene as a whole is somewhat under impressive and lacks the impact that has Ansel Adams stamped upon it.

Apologies for the delayed critique, as they say, better late than never, Sid

I particularly like the range of tones you captured in the background trees. A very pleasing and interesting composition.

Need to bring the detail in the trees out a bit more. Adams' work is, if nothing else, crisp in its details.

I like this - very colorful and cool shapes, and great detail in the halftone patterns.

Nice idea and good execution. Could the focus be a bit sharper on the piece edges? Overall great job - I gave you a 7
