Greetings from the Critique Club
I love this photo and glad that I was assigned it for a critique. My favorite aspect is the deep reds in the barn and berries. Iâm assuming that you liked that as well considering your tweaking of the reds. I think you did a perfect job on the colors and the contrast is wonderful. The framing of the barn with the wire is a great compositional feature to me and the depth of field is perfect at f9.
A couple of thoughts on why this didnât score a 6 is that it does seem to have a balance issue as lissylou mentioned it âfeelsâ crooked. Maybe if there was a way to get square on the fence and straight on with the barn it would have been more level? Perhaps another problem is the âfit of challengeâ. The processing doesnât fit the idea of âquiteâ because of the reds and high contrast, and the foreground bush creates tension in the composition, again not âquiteâ. In my opinion voters here like âcleanâ compositions with no distractions in them. I think in a free study or in a âruralâ challenge this would easily score 6+.
Overall this is a wonderful photo and I wouldnât change a thing if it were mine. I gave you some possible reasons why it didnât get a 6, but a 5.75 is a great score here at dpChallenge.

| I really love this... but think it would have a bigger impact without the top wire (although I realize that you can't really do anything about it). :o) |
