Positives:
Good perspective and choice of subject. Well done BW appropriate for the challenge topic.
Technicals:
Overall tone processing in this BW is done well. Good from 'black' blacks to 'white' whites. :) The blacks on the bottom and whites on the top are not well balanced across the image. Not always needed but probably should be in this particular choice. The bit of tree on the far right is a minor distraction.
The challenge:
No real problem in this area, it meets the challenge. It is the degree of meeting that may come into question and have a slight effect on how this image was voted. Grain-wise, yours is VERY similar to my barn image above that I did not submit partly because I did not like how the grain looked 'better' in the sky than it did over the rest of the image. I think I know how to 'fix' that now. :)
Suggestions:
If you were to take this picture further to the left where you would separate the church from the obelisk then you could cure the imbalance of dark on the bottom and light on the top by spreading it out more AND correct the distracting branches on the far right by either including more tree or blocking the tree with the obelisk.
This is not a bad image, it just has a couple minor issues, none of which are really awful. This is probably underrated even by DPC standards. That is probably because viewers were not given a big reason to love it.
For different but kinda similar reasons I think from your image I know the score my barn picture would have got in the grain challenge since ours share so many similarities. Thanks, saved me the irritation of a 5.2. ;) |

| the perspective is pretty neat, but I would have liked to see more of the obelisk in view. In addition, the very bright sky really does not add anything to the image. still it is well done 6 |
