A six for you. I like the painterly colors, even though I feel sure they had some "help." The way the sliver of sunset rests between the warm golden clouds and cool green grass is sublime.
The color palette and open landscape are perfectly suited to your title. I personally like the "approaching darkness" feel, there is little "warm and fuzzy" that can be taken from this image.
a 7 8 from me (upon reviewing my comments and votes when finished)
I kind of get a cold feeling from the bottom left of the sky, but the sun shining through and the green don't give me that feeling. I have never read the book, so I don't know if you are just using the title to make "Cold Comfort Farm" or if there is a meaning behind any of the photo. So just going off of the title and the pic, I gave it a 4.
6...it's a farm, I guess...that's the only tie I see to the book, or maybe to the title only. The texture of the greens is quite pleasing, as is the overall general color of the image.
Flora Poste's farm is looking good, nice sunset. As far as connection to the novel, it establishes the minimum requirements. As a landscape it is picturesque, a little unbalanced and dark on the left but makes me feel 'country'.5.
This is pretty as a rural sunset but hasn't much in the way of references to the book, at least as I understand from a synopsis. Maybe some farm buildings or a fence or some equipment or better some farmers, especially a younger woman, we could sense something of the novel. 5
Interesting effect caused by all that sharpness. It creates an interesting texture on a scene that would otherwise bore me. In fact, that abrasive sharpness is a form of "cold comfort," so I'll give you a 6.
I can't really tell if it is sunset on a farm, or on a field. The colors are nice and I like the silhouette of the trees, but it still seems to be missing a stronger tie to the story. 5
Great photo of sky and horizon. Better seen at a much larger size, I suspect. I would crop two thirds of the verdure at bottom for a better composition Marginal connection to the novel, although having now read a synopsis, I look forward to reading it thanks to you. 5
This is difficult for me, because I love the book and I want to like the image, which is indeed pleasant enough as those things go, but pleasant isn't what Cold Comfort Farm is about, now is it? These are confused, rustic people living in squalid surroundings, hostage to a past that no longer sustains them, and I want at least a hint of that in the imagery.
I did not read the book so I looked it up:
Cold Comfort Farm is a comic novel by English author Stella Gibbons, published in 1932. It parodies the romanticised, sometimes doom-laden accounts of rural life popular at the time Your image seems to be a shoehorn for the title of the book. Moreover, I am not in favor of the processing and somehow disappointed by the presence of a landscape in this challenge that does not seem to have a real connotation with the novel. 4
This shot does seem to have a "cold" feeling to it... perhaps its the cool tones that are highlighted.
Really like the sky and the clouds here. Though, it seems a tad on the dark side. But maybe that's just the angle of my computer.
Who knows. Lol.
