Does your subject grab your attention? Yes

Sharpnes:Good
Is the sharpness important? Yes for this shot it is.

Exposure:I believe the exposure is done very well here.

Composition: I believe the compositon here works well. Of course the eyes will go to the brightest object in the photo so the white gate is a good addition to the shot. The fence on the right side veers my attention a little but the white of the Gate refocuses to the center of the shot. It is a landscape. These are difficult to do since not every landscape is breathtaking to say the least. You did well by limiting the sky in this shot. Under certain Rules of composition you want to eithier have a lot or a little Sky. For the landscape that it is, I think you did a good job with Depth and that is what is important about the Fence that runs down the right.

Overall I think this is a good technical shot with good intentions. It would take me a while to think about how I could do this shot better. My conclusion right now is that I can not.

TurboTech.

The fences do a nice job of forming "converging lines. I think if there junction was more readily viewable, it would be even more effective.

I'm seeing a whole lot of this white sky. Were weather conditions prety bad everywhere? Looks like kind of an overcast day. I like the angle and framing/cropping you chose for this. The fence to the bottom right is great. View is nice. Wish there were some horses in Casey jones' ranch, but we can't have everything huh? Something that catches my eye in this shot and really holds my attention is the cross that is formed just to the right of dead center. It looks like a pole in the forground, and part of the field in the background. It forms a cross though, kind of like a target, my eyes are drawn there. Good luck in the challenge.

I don't think I'd have cropped the sky so low - it feels like you're peering through a letterbox ;-)

This shot is just to busy. I know it was probable hard to get one with out all those fences. Good luck!
