 Golden hour shot of flowering field with Telephone poles. Just captured my interest and attention.

Technical Challenge was the brightness of the flowers and the lack of detail in the sky.

Hello from the Critique club

An appealing image that subtly meets the challenge

You have a lovely landscape dominated by the vivid yellow crop and nicely broken up by the power line posts in an effective position that leads you into the darker background and ultimately the sky. As you say the sky is lacking in detail especially against the bright yellow foreground, however, I suspect that the subtlety of your 'technical flaw' may have proved too much for many voters here seeing a lovely landscape without recognising your 'imperfection'. As you will see from the results the most successful images are those with the most obvious flaws so this I think has affected your result although it is still very respectable.

Thank you for your lovely entry Catherine

I love the yellowness of the poles

and a beautiful yellow it is.... it all looks great in that light. The poles, in my estimation, even add something to this (compositionally, I guess).

Another one of those I've come back to, because I'm not sure what the flaw is. Seems quite straightforward, other than a slight lean of a pole.

I like the overall composition but not getting a 'wow'. Am going to come back and vote later.
