For this contest everyone who has the word “circle” in their title is getting a lower score. This is a copy and paste version that I am including in every photo that I downgrade due to the title. We as members of DPchallenge know the topic of the challenge – we do not need to reread the topic every time we reach a photo. If circle is in the title and it is appropriate I will most likely not down grade, but it better be good. I am sorry if you do not agree with my method of protest – but scores are all I have.
I think this would have been a more effective shot with better light. Either during sunrise or sunset. Would have given much better hues and saturation made the picture much more lively.
The sunlight seemed very bright, which resulted in a washed out look. I think messing with the levels and contrast would have improved this a lot. It's a nice composition.
I think this could have been stronger with different lighting and a slightly different crop - lose the left side to the hay and perhaps a little less sky. It looks like it was taken in mid afternoon. Levels adjust to bring out more detail in the hay maybe?
