nice imagery, barry. i don't know why, but for some reason, civil war cannons just don't do well here...yet! one of these days, i'm going to capture the great cannon image...
Yep, should have used a filter, although this is pretty much how it looked. It was raining (light mist) and the clouds were hanging very low with an overall light grey look to the upper ceiling.

Good composition, but the blown sky lessens the impact of the photo. A graduated neutral density filter would have helped. Good Work.

Good lighting for the subject. Wish it wasn't an open challange and you could drop the sky a few stops. If the blow out on the sky was avoided I would have given 2 points higher - I find it too distracting. Otherwise great image.

Nice subject and composition. Too bad the sky is blown out and the cannon lacks a little contrast to the bg. Anyway, nice approach of the challenge.
You're right. I didn't see that until you mentioned it. Still learning how to use curves - obviously! It could have been the gamma adjustment also...hmmm. Thanks.

Your composition is, so right, that it is almost cliche. Nice job there. On my monitor it has a quite green cast, even in the clouds. If you did thid intentionally,okay, but I don't care for it.
Thanks - I could have walked up on it a bit to do that I think. Couldn't get any higher without some assistance as it was out in the middle of a field.

generally i like the composition and colors a lot ... i think a slightly higher camera angle which would have placed the dark top part of the canon below the dark bottom part of the tree line would have better isolated and drawn more focus to the canon
