very beautiful
Wanted to see what else declined besides my newest deviation.
I really dont see why, becuase this is gorgeous, there nothing interfering with it(no powerlines, etc) and I love how the sunset has turned the field orange too.

I was kinda dissapointed when it was rejected, so I had to ask! The reply I got was fair I guess. Gotta keep trying! Which picture of yours was declined?

Under the bridge
Their reply was true enough, and pointed out all the flaws, which I am fine with becuase I don't mind constructive criticism.
I was working with a pretty old battered digi-cam with low batteries and no working flash when I snapped the picture, but it was still nice.

I like it a lot, it's so red! 1/3 plant life, 2/3 sky, a good balance for the photo. I wish the mountain on the side was a little taller but other then that good job.

It was hard making a decision, because the sky was awesome, but the light on the field was just as brillant. I think I made the best out of the situation to my possibilities. Awesome that you like it! Thanx for your comment.

The problem with the composition of this photo is that it doesn't have a focal point. Sure, the colors in the sky are nice, but it misses a point of interest this sky can give a good backround for. That trail in the wheat field is a nice start but it's not dominant enough.

Hmmm after looking at it for about 15 mins now I think I can understand what you mean.
I tried giving the picture 3 layers - field with trail, the sky, and the mountaneous background. I was lucky to find such a trail at all, but was hoping that it would give the picture a stronger effect. Otherwise the foreground would have been kinda boring. So a Focal point is there, but it just isnt dominant enough.
Maybe a tree would have been better? Thanx for your honest comment. It helped seeing my picture from another perspectice, and I hope it opened my eyes a little more. Cheers!

(yes, a lonely tree works almost every time! If there's nothing around, you could try to make a focal point from yourself.)
