*Critique Club*
FIRST IMPRESSION: Great farmhouse landscape and the soft focus works.
CHALLENGE: As this is one image split into three, I feel this does not strictly meet the challenge. It was composed with the challenge in mind, however, so I would score it higher than a shot which totally disregarded the challenge.
COMPOSITION: The composition overall is good. Excellent choice of "matting" around the images. Individually the rightmost image lacks an "anchor" to hold the viewer's attention, but the images in this composition are clearly not meant to be viewed individually but rather as part of a whole, so this is a non-issue.
TECHNICAL: The technical aspects of this composition are excellent. The soft focus is clearly intentional and adds to the overall mood of the shot. The stepped up saturation also adds to the feel of the shot.
CONCLUSION: An excellent composition, very well done and professional-looking. I'm surprised that the voters didn't take issue with the challenge interpretation and score this lower, however that does not take away from the fact that I feel this is a very strong composition.
Thanks for sharing and good luck in future challenges! |

| The colors definitely grab you on this. The focus seems a little soft, but from the looks of it, it looks intentional. Nice work. |

| Nice postprocessing. I like the feel given to your structure. The greens and browns work well together. |

| Nicely done! I love the lighting, the color, and the effects. This is a beautiful triptych that is very visually appealing, and just continually engages the eyes. I find my eyes moving all the way through the shots and then back again. I would hang this on my wall in a minute! One of my favs. |

| This really strikes me as a single frame shot that was forced into a multi-frame format. I don't really see much purpose in dividing it up. I do like the sort of hazy oversaturated effect you have created here. It gives it a dreamlike feel. 6 |

| Wow..... I was just thinking that I like photos that tell stories, and this one does! That grass looks so soft and rich, and the background you chose is so mossy and flattering. This is among my favorites. Great work! |

| Very nice smooth composition with nice rendered textures. The framing is much to massive to my taste. I would have suggested to play with transparencies working with layers to build the framing |

| It looks like a dream. I really like the softness these images have, which is accentuated by the drop shadow borders to each image. The colour scheme here is excellent. The only little thing is the overexposed sky. Good luck! |

| Appears to be the same photo, just seperated. Not sure if it's really a multi-image. Nice photo though. |

| Interesting use of soft focus (or filter?) - it makes the image seem to glow. My only criticism would be in the assembly of the triptych - I feel the line of the angled roof ought to flow straight from one frame to the other - in your assembly the line is slightly out. Nice image(s) though with a beautiful old time feel. |

| the border dominates too much but I like the way it feels like looking through a window, The shading makes it look like a window with bars, a jail. |

i like this a lot, not a huge fan of using drop shadows, but this is still one of the best in this challenge
