This is Tinker. She belongs to the dairy farmer behind us. When I went out to take my "Abandoned Buildings" shot, the lighting was perfect for a "Country Lane" type shot. Tinker just happened to be in the right place at the right time.

I've posted one with similar sky condition and I'm being picked on by that. I hope they weren't too hard on you. It's a beautiful picture. I love the curved lines and the shadow actually give it more levels. Like I said, I like the negative space created by the calm sky. Best of luck!
I like the basis of this - bot sure about your placing of the horizon line, it would perhaps have more impact for being either higher or lower in frame; and of course you have problems with compression, particularly in the ksy areas - which could also happily have been toned down somewhat compared to the land. But as I said, that basic composition, the curving road, the dog, the whatever on the horizon, I like very much.
nice composition, lovely colors. hope the viewers give this one the time it needs to sink in, otherwise they'll miss the whole point. i'll bet this was a wonderful moment to experience. good luck!
Gorgeous curves but perhaps too much sky and not enough light on the dog (it wouldn't have mattered so much if the title was different!). Well observed and captured
