Note: Do not take any comments in this review personally. They are only for the purpose of assisting with photography.
Composition: The trees in the foreground give the feeling that you are in the woods looking out at the cultivated land. I think this is effective in giving a sort of transitional feel. There's a bit of a jumbled feel tho as there is no ONE standout element to draw the eye. Maybe your horizon could have been a little lower in the shot.
Technical: the hay bales seem a little dark as if backlit slightly. Not too bad but that with teh trees makes the pic seem a little dark. There's a bit of softness to the image.
I don't know if the pole is leaning, but I think I would have liked this better rotated a bit, and with the car and buildings out of the photo, even though they lend some depth. The complimentary colors are nice.
I like this shot. And I like that the trees are in the shot. I think the pole kind of takes away from the naturalness of the shot, but still nice. The focus on the bales looks a little soft, bt not serious. I like the color and the angle and framing/cropping are nice as well. Lighting conditions seem to have been good for the shot. Good luck in the challenge.
