Here's your ribbon - display it proudly!
And funny that Peter thinks it's too soft - I think there's too much sharpening near the tree/sky border. I think most landscapes unless richly colored suffer from the 640 pixel size. The other comment I'd offer is that the straight line/centered comp is somewhat static. All that said, I really love the foreground field. I've been trying to get good field shots for some time. A lovely classic of such is zeuszen's entry in the free study. |

The layers created by the grass, the trees, and the sky are well placed and give this the prototypical rule of thirds feel. The church looks like it has a lot of charm and interest, but with the small image size (don't you just hate 640?) the details are mostly lost
I just wonder about the choice of b/w here - were you trying to have the sky and the field look similar as if it is a reflection? If so, I think more details in the grass field are needed to give it the shimmering feel. If not the point, I think a color version may have been a better approach - to highlight the warm summer sky and the glow off the grass.
I really think the main reason for the low-ish score is an overall softness to the image...don't forget that us DPCers need it sharp, sharp, sharp! |

| Beautiful flowing grass, lovely sky, and nice line of trees holding my focus on the church. |

| What a shame - no comments. Oh well - I get to be first! How did this look in color? The field in the foreground looks interesting and that's why i ask. I like the details on the trees in the background. Looks pretty rural to me! |
