 This photograph was taken at sunrise in the local fields with the straw bale waiting to be collected later that day. The light really provided an excellent capture to silhoutte the straw.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Nice metaphotical use of the proverbial last straw, or at least last straw standing. Love the silhouettes in the bg of other round bales. Nice comp and light, would have liked to see a slightly longer exposure and/or smaller aperture to bring out more detail. A tripod would come in handy too, for such shots like this.

Overall a very pleasing shot, please keep on shooting and entering!

Feel free to PM me,

Susan
