Cruising through the thumbnails, i would say that this is one of my favorites. It is a very "clean" picture, not one of those gimmicky productions. Nice colors and contrasts.I love the rhythm of the composition of the sticks. They seem to do a dance and the fast moving clouds seem to be the "score". Two minor nitpicks: 1) wished you had cropped out that little bit of dark on the right; it's probably a tiny bit of another stick and it interferes with the overall nice rhythm a little 2) wish there weren't those weeds in the bottom left corner - they don't "belong" as they are another object and I really savor the simplicity of the few shapes, clouds and sticks against a blue sky. However, to have cropped them out would also lose the left stick which makes such a nice triangular shape and very necessary for the overall rhythm. 8 for now. Journey
This is an amazing photo, I love the crisp blue sky and marshmellow type clouds. I have the impression those sticks are just trying to reach out and join in. Well done! The only thing I would have changed is the stick on the far left. I'd either have cropped it completely out or moved back a little to get it also reaching upwards.
