G'day!! This is great. Very pretty scene, lovely sky, absolutely beautiful. What is that thing? I love Australia! I spent 6 months there on exchange my Junior year in highschool, it rocked! I think moving a little bit, and putting the main part not so in the middle might have helped but it's not imperitive. I really like this shot, so I've decided to award it my third -10- of the challenge! Congrats and good luck!
I do like this shot :) Not just because i am an Aussie, but the tones are great, the bricks of the old chimney have a rustic charm about them and overall the whole image just cries out Rural Australia!
Well Done
This is just a flat-out cool picture. I dig it hard-core. This would be a "good" picture that anyone could take if they were there with a camera. But, because of your cropping, it is a "great" picture. Very very nice. I wish it was a LITTLE bit brighter though.
Oh wow! This intrigues me. Is this the only thing left standing of a house? I think you chose the perfect day to photograph this chimney. The clouds add so much!
The sky and lighting of this early/late day shot is evocative and even eerie, but the forground is too dark to complete my appreciation of this very interesting image. With such a prominent subject (the fireplace) I feel that it's not about rural Austrailia, but rather about the lack of a house attatched to that fireplace, and what that represents. IMHO, I think this shot would fit more a surrealistic challenge. 7 because I really do like this shot despite it's technical flaw.
i like the overall feel of this photo. The clouds and the horizon provides a lonely look to the main subject. The abandoned chimney gives an "easter island" look. 8
I just love the ominous clouds and the desolate landscape. I do see this as a good cover for your magazine. There seems to be a lot of room for the title, side pictures & captions that are on news stand magazines. So far, this is the best layout in the group that I've seen so far. It could go up as is. Good job! 10
Holy cow. What an incredible place. You could really have a lot of fun with this setting for all kinds of photographic potentials... As far as the challenge goes, I think you've done very well. Interesting subject matter, great clouds, great composition. Maybe a bit on the yellow side, but overall I like this very much!
