* Greetings from the Critique Club *

First up, congratulations on this photo and your score. It is a pleasant image to look at and it conveys a feeling of peace and calm.

I find I have to agree with some of the comments with feeling that the main subject is too far away. The current crop gives a nice scale of the size of the hill in the background but makes me want to lean in to search the farm out and look for detail. Perhaps to have brought that in slightly but not too much as to kill the scope of the pic.

The colours look good and you've done a nice clean job of the PP. I would of liked the sky to have been a shade bluer just to really contrast against the orange foreground and the clouds.

Overall this is a nice photo and it scored well with voters. Well done and best of luck with future challenges.

Neil

Indeed a beautiful image with good exposure to allow its beauty to shine. The detail is simply wonderful: 8

Pretty landscape and taken under some nice light. Main problem for me is that distance makes it too difficult to discern any detail in the settlement. I either want to see more detail there or not have it interrupt the landscape at all. As it is it just kind of makes it a bit messy. You have some nice detail in the sky, I think it would be stronger if you used a polarising filter to darken up the blues and bring out contrast between the clouds and the sky.

This looks close to home! I think the focal point may be too distant.
