I have never had someone with such deep seated anger issues over a straw piece, or how a whole photo and talent was ruined by a piece of straw!

That was a savage comment, totally brutal, but so funny,, lol

And so, so hilarious!!!

My 13 yer old is stomping around the house and saying "What's wrong with my piece of straw, I was challenging my inner farmer"

I am not sure, who I am laughing harder at right now!

Congratulations on 5th, Juliet. You were my equal top pick and a 10. I love the farmer's body language, and to me the straw adds to that.

I love the sky, the foreground seems a little bit artificial, maybe too much reduction of noise seems a little bit strange. The straw or whatever is coming out of the person’s mouth is a nice touch. Already voted.

A little too contrived for my tastes, but nonetheless, very competently done.

what lovely colours you've made to happen, what lovely details, but you have ruined the whole thing with that hokey straw in mouth would-be hayseed. I hate to see talent wasted. Maybe spend 5 minutes everyday restraining yourself.

Voted earlier coming back to comment.

Wonderful light and story moment captured in this photo! The silhouette of a farmer stands surveying his field. Chewing on a straw he places his hand on his side - it has been an exhausting, back-breaking day. As the sun sets off in the distance he reflects upon the day and what needs be done on the morrow before heading home to rest.
