My first entry with my D200, just wanted an update button and I thought the tree looked like it was reeling back from the impending construction. I think this meets the challenge well of "seeing the landscape differently" but I still don't expect a good score.

I like the idea - the line to the the tree and the hill on the right. The shadow seems a little too dark, and somewhat detracts from the picture. I don't know if you wanted a harsh contrasty look - the highlights on the hay - on the right are distracting. Perhaps reducing the contrast might help?
Great lines and shadows. It feels just a little bit off balance because there isn't much on the right side of the frame to counter the tree, but the hills do help with that a little. Still a wonderful shot, though.
