I can see why it would be a personal favourite - that light is certainly gorgeous. I find the framing/cropping uncomfortable - can't see what you've kept at the bottom of frame that requires the clipping of the windmill like that. It would benefit, to my eye, from some work to calm the very bright areas of sky toward the horizon - the blue becomes a touch pasty and washed out there. The tonality of tthe wood work is well caught, and the sense of organisation.
Nice little farm scene. Throws me back in time. Which reminds me, this could be fun to try out in a duotone. Nice colors, nice clouds. Not too sure that I like the corner of the building in the shot. The windmill could also possibly benifit from being a bit more distinct from the tree. Possibly worth moving around a bit more to get a less cluttered angle on the shot. You could try lying on the ground and shooting up at an angle? It's always fun to change your POV on what you are shooting. 6
i think i've been here. isn't it on interstate 64, not to far from the va border? (you don't have to pm me an answer, just put it in your photog notes) this is a nice image that you've captured. though it's not the type of image that normally scores high, it does have its place here, and i thank you for sharing. you've done a good job with this, and it does stand out from the typical snapshot type images. i do hope it is getting the attention it deserves. good luck with this, and in the challenges yet to come!
