This is actually the very last photo I took in October.
Wrapped bales of hay taken at 18mm on the 18-55 kit lens.
Cropped top and bottom quite a bit and a little bit off of the sides. Increased brightness and contrast on all but the sky. Burned sky. Applied USM (99%, 1.7, 1).
I give myself a 6.5 and expect about an average vote of about 5.5...

Good work. Woudl like to see a larger version, as i suspect the detail really tells, so it's a shame about the site limitations - but that also is what has to be worked with here. 7
nice color and lighting. I wish this wasn't such a long picture.. i guess i am not a fan of panaramics... not on the net anyhow... but i really like the leading lines of the bales to the right and depth this image has...
