A good shot technically and definitely met the challenge. The wow factor is low for me 'cause it's just cornstalks and I even have more of an appreciation for cornstalks thna the average person. To be honest, I probably would have voted it as a 5 because of the lack of wow. Sorry, just trying to be honest....
I love corn stalk stubble! We have it all over the place here. This is better than any pictures I've taken of the stuff. And it suits the challenge nicely. But hey, what's that white stuff in the background? ;-) (actually - it looks muted - did you tint it with color balance?) Amazing that this was f/5.6. Am curious, have you tried this in b/w or low sat? Enjoyed.
Nice shot. I really like the lines and contrast in this one. The stark white versus the yellow/brown works well. I really like how low to the ground you were. Technically it is terrific. I might have changed the composition just a little. I love the back hills, keep that the same, but the front focus seems a bit too centered. Nonetheless a gorgeous photograph.
I didn't get a chance to even look at this challenge. This is my kind of picture - something I'd see and want to shoot - so this would have received a good score from me. Nice, quite, not "in your face", and pleasing composition. Quite a good take on "winter", and the shallow DOF serves this well.
Hi Bob,
I thought this was an interesting take on this challenge. Refreshing to see a field amidst all those flowers (including mine LOL). I love the curved lines in the background.
Fits challenge=5
Color/lighting=1
DOF/focus=1
Wow factor/uniqueness=0
Attractiveness=1
comments: I instantly liked this image, maybe it's cause I'm from the country and have a special liking to images like this, but I feel it isn't quite a shallow DOF. Maybe I'm just being too picky. It seems that if you were closer in on the corn stalks it would portray it better, again I could be wrong, just my opinion.
