Comment by Paul:
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: A lovely study of these bikes, your chosen tones work so well too. I like the broken ground textures a lot too. Your overall composition, with the bikes slightly high in the frame, works really well.

Critical stuff: Nothing really.

Overall: Nicely made.

I love the starkness of this. In my top picks of the challenge. 10.

An interesting and pleasing photograph. Irresistibly evocative: Who are the owners of the bikes? What are they harvesting? What will they eat for lunch? What do they talk about, laugh about, while they work? What paths do they each take, at the end of day? I love images that invite me outside the frame. All that, and it̢۪s beautiful too! Top three pick for me. Thank you.

Originally posted by Bear_Music: This is so excellent in so many ways... However, on my monitor at least you've totally posterized the reds/oranges int he sky to the point where it's unacceptable; I wish you'd resisted the temptation. It's a temptation I've fallen prey to many times in the past, and try to resist now.

hmm, the sky is bold but no posterized on my iMac screen... Gorgeous shot Jean, congrats! (wow, what a frontyard you have! :))
