This picture was shot in the Napa Valley in California on a slightly overcast day. I felt the weather worn textures of the silo and adjoining building made for an interesting shot.

Wow...nicest shot ive seen yet. This image is very sharp, and the cloud in the image looks awesome! It really makes the shot, the green grass also really brings out the photo...nice shot!
This almost looks painted or surreal - beautiful colors, sky, & content... I'm sure that your other work contains these eye-catching elements. I scored you an 8, but some of the detraction was how "perfect" it was - it's almost unnatural in apperance - also it looks a little skewed to the left (at the top). It is a VERY beautiful shot - well done & congrats. There just seems to be "something" - and I'm still not sure what it is - that keeps me from rating it higher. (Obviously, still well above average in a category with over 400 shots to rate (and I'm pretty conservative!), so please don't take my comments the wrong way).
It's always nice when you get a cloud to cooperate. The only thing I don't like is the grass, where it meets the horizon is very artificial looking. Still a nicely composed shot.
Feels like the salt of the earth.Tiny nit - I'd have cropped a bit further away from the buildings on the bottom and the right. Still I love the balance of the buildings and the fluffy cloud.
You know, I bet you waited hours for the perfect cloud to arrive and complete this composition. This almost looks too real, like I'm right there. Absolutely my favorite, to this point in voting. 10!
A composition that makes one smile!
What I don't like here is the posterisation in the clouds and the noise in the sky.
The composition is spot-on in my opinion apart from the fact that you cut a small portion off the cloud and that the picture is not 100% level, it seems. I'd have rotated it slightly.
