I wish this had been cropped so the formation wasn't centered. Good colors.

I wish you could have taken this shot in the field without the highway in the frame.

Good idea but why not go to the other side of the road so that's not in the picture? Or capture Devi's Tower later at night or in the morning for more dramatic sky?

Would have like to seen this a bit more saturated. Good work, I didn't have to read the title to know what the movie was..... Good luck, Todd. 8.

Cool.... should have gotten a little closer or zooomed in on it more. I'd like to see just the tan field, trees, and mountain in the picture.

Great subject...impact would have been stronger with a close-up, eliminating the roadway in the foreground and reducing the amount of sky at the top!

Might have been better if you had cropped the road out? It's still a good picture. best of luck.

My voting criteria for this challenge are:

1. Did you capture a scene from the movie (as the challenge brief states) or did you enter a picture and fit a title to it.
2. How close a rendition is your image to the movie.
3. How does the image stand up in its own right.

In this case:

1. Assuming that this isn't in your back garden you must have shot it specially, however it could just as easily been entered into a landscape challenge.
2. Not being that enthralled by the film I don't recall any scenes, I'll have to give you the benefit of the doubt, that said I wouldn't have guessed the film with no title.
3. The lighting and exposure is good, but in my opinion there is too much road and sky in the shot. Would it have been possible to cross the road and take the picture in portrait format?

Overall a good picture which meets the challenge. 6

I think if you cropped this and zoomed in, it would have been great.
The lower half of the shot just distracts. But still... it brings back great memories!

Devil's tower! Whoo hoo!! I love it when I can recognize the places! I had forgotten it was in that movie... Thanks for reminding me of the creepiness.

You've used this before haven't you? For the post card challenge. Anyway, this fits the challenge well. I think a dawn or dusk shot would have a more "movie-like" feel to it but now I 'm just being nit-picky.
