(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) I find the layout of this photograph to be strong and very interesting. The diagonal line of the fence, repeated by the diagonal line of the trees is a very powerful leading line and pulls the viewer right into the photograph.
(2) BACKGROUND The clouds are very nice, but I find the sky a little bit over exposed. I am not sure you could have exposed it properly and still have the foreground perfectly exposed. This is probably a good compromise.
The scenery leading away from the viewer is very nice as well, especially with the nice hills in the distance. This give the photo a real 3D effect.
(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL Exposure is well done. Your exposure keeps the whites very crisp without losing any of the detail in the trees and grasses.
There are so many facinating details that one really must look this photograph for a long time. My eye keeps getting drawn to the tiny little pinecones the close front and the my eye just naturally follows the fence back to the trees. Beautiful capture.
(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL Your post processing is very good. I might have cropped it a bit tighter getting rid of the branch in the upper right and placing the sagging fence post on the right most line of thirds.
(5)MEETING THE CHALLENGE This photo does a very good job of meeting the challenge. This is a very relaxing scene and filled with natural beauty.
(6) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO I like this photograph very much. I think perhaps this is a photo that you might try to reshoot in many different lights and times of day. This is a great location to get some really neat shots. Well done! |

Interesting shot ... fence running away in the distance. Neat. The sky is a little over exposed, but not a big problem. Good shot. Good luck. Jacko |

The fence bothers me a bit, too distracting. |

And I think of Arizona as a big desert. Nice job with the colors. I probably would have cropped that hanging branch in the top right. |

Looks like you had better weather than we did. The Phoenix area was very hazy last week making it difficult to get a good shot. I like how the fence leads the eye, nice job. |
