Hi Teri

FIRST IMPRESSION:
Nice scene. :|

COMPOSITION:
I don't have any problems with the setup of the photo. Maybe getting lower and shooting 'up' a bit more would get you a bit more sky and eliminate the bottom of the photo (path?) :)

TECHNICAL:
Your lighting seems a bit dark on the foreground. Also, there is quite a bit of noise on the photo. I realize that you are using a Sony camcorder, and I'm sure you don't have much control over exposure/shutter. :|

ARTISTIC:
I honestly think that this was a nice scenery to which the camera did no justice. :|

OVERALL:
A fair shot, technically poor. :(

Cheers and good luck in the future challenges.

The sign is a tad underexposed. It looks like the sun was behind the sign - I had to revisit my sign in the morning to get around this. Framing is interesting and works ok - there's just a fraction of something creeping into the bottom left of the image, but that's not a big distraction. Your title is very good.

i would have liked to have seen more sky in the photo. as it is, the sign is underexposed - your flash might have helped with this.

This one is so hard to decide on. I like the different textures in the photo. what I think is a bit distracting is the straight line just at the bottom of the photo, I wish you had cropped that out. Perhaps it would have been easier to follow with your eyes into the photo. Right now, my eyes stop right at the bottom of it. -Annida

I find the background over powering..maybe shot at a different time of day would bring out cacti better...nicely composed though.
