 Shot while my wife was driving. There must have been a lot of moisture in the air, which contributed to some amazing streaks of light from the setting sun as it interacted with the clouds. I was lucky to find the small evidence of the farm life in this shot, which really brings the image home, to me. Although, it could be because I know how rural the area is where I took this. I love the combination of yellows and blues in a photo, and this photo especially has that coloring that I love.

So the title carries a triple meaning - passing, as in the death of... and passing, as in literally we were passing it... plus the sun is setting, so it's the passing of a day.

Agree that this is most underrated. Great shot all the same.

unbelievably underrated :(

maybe you could have pumped the vibrancy/saturization some, just to push it a little more on the eye-candy gauge. who knows? just don't let this finish/score affect your appreciation for what you've done and can do.

Like the elements here. Cool cloudy sky with sun rays. Like the silhouettes of the trees and truck and car. I'm usually not influenced by titles, but your title is fitting. If only there was an isolated farmhouse. This is one that takes a bit of a longer look and the message/story to appreciate IMHO. I think it should end up >6 in the scoring. Best of luck.

I love everything about this, the light, the silhouette, the chance meeting and long for those days myself. I'd have cloned out the one power line.
