Uh Oh, pop art. Na, this is good stuff. It's hard to wrap my brain around sometimes, but I like the ideas here. The accents of color, the boldness of yellow and the subdued green really work well. Compositional it is near perfect, sure there is the cut off cow, but I realize that is the intent. There is a difference between missing the composition because of "mistakes" and missing the composition because of "intent". I see alot of intent here. The only compostion "mistake" I see here is the flower covering the house.
This is one of those photos that is more than just the exposure, lighting, composition. People who do not understand that I think are just missing out on the point. Photography doesn't have to be all mechnical. You have a special photo here. It's purposeful without being just a gimmick. A wonderful treat to see. Simply surreal.
I really like this. I knew it would be too out there for DPC voters, but even as I voted, gave you a mental congrats for guts to enter it. I have this insane urge to play around with this photo, as I'd love to see it without the vertical red streaks directly to left of silo...anyway, cool stuff, keep on shooting!
Something appears to have happened in the post-processing here that took all the textures and details out of a stunning sky, and also appears that too strong of an application of the shadow/highlight tool or similar, was used, rendering this odd in it's final presentation.
I like the interesting composition, but the "post processing" (I'm assuming it's due to how you processed it) doesn't do a lot for me. The colors seem "edgy" to me and look unnatural.
The theme of unreal suffuses the image. The colors, the light, the juxtiposition of the elements (the BACK end of a cow?) and the post processing all act to unsettle the viewer. The sky is particularly odd - some weird storm a-brewin' - all very perplexing, but also entrancing. One asks, what? why? and looks at the picture again... and again.
For me this whole image is overprocessed. I can see editing marks around the cow and I get an overall unreal feel from this image (just my humble opinion)
