great balanced lighting ... very nice use of dof ... the background is a bit blah for the rest of the shot. I think a close up or crop would have made it better ...
I love this image. It's a 10 in my book. When I first saw the challenge I was hoping someone would find a horse drawn carriage/cart/wagon. This woman has a great expressionon her face, what a character. Beautiful framing against the wooden fences and forest beyond. The only thing that is slightly distracting for me is the bright red on the horse. I wonder what it would have looked like to desaturate the red a little.
I bet you get a lot of comments on this image! It's a very cool and unique shot. There's good clarity of the main subjects, but they seem a little overprocessed to my eye ( they look like they've been removed from the shot, augmented, and then replaced with the updated images. Whether or not this is the case, you have created a very emotional shot - which is great! The more emotional reactions you receive from your audience the better (at least that's my opinion).
Specially with a heavy load such as this! Like this image alot though, pity about the shadow on horses face, wonder if fill in flash would have done anything to correct that...
LOL...I LOVE IT!! Good take on the challenge. I really like your title. Was this photo set up or was this woman really moving her hay like this? Picture is technically well done. I hope you are getting good scores for this...I'm giving you a 10
