Hello from the Critique Club!
Hello Io!
Wow, I love the earthy tones in this picture. it's so drab, and base, like I would imagine a storm to be. I've been to Devon, and I remember the fields just like that. So lovely and wonderful, I really miss it sometimes.
On the technical side of things, I find this photograph a tiny bit grainy. Now how can you avoid this in the future? Well.. start with a slower shutter speed. That will allow more light to come into the shot, and that means you'll get a larger range of colour, and basically, more light. I think the Aperture was fine... and well, you haven't provided me with the ISO, so I have no clue what it was. By the looks of it, it may have been 300 or 400, I'm not too sure. What else could you have done? I think a bit of colour enhancement with the hue and saturation, if you'd played with that a bit, you could have gotten more of a range of colours instead of the drabness (which I don't really mind, it seems more realistic this way). I would also suggest using a tripod for any kind of shot because it removes the shaky hand syndrome as I call it. You'd be surprised how much your hands shake when you don't mean it, so when you stick your camera on a tripod and hit the timer, you can stand back and let your tripod do the work, and that's lovely seeing the image afterward, crisp and sharp.
I definitely feel this picture has met the challenge, and very well indeed. I feel you were marked down because of the fuzziness to the photo, and that's it. Well done, and keep up the good work!

| The foreground of the picture is a bit dark but the clouds are excellent. |

| Nice cloud formations. In my opinion the landscape detracts from your shot. I think the clouds would appear much more dramatic if you simply blacked out the rest. |

| Too dark. I thinkif you moved the horizon to the lower third, it would have more impact. |

| Angry clouds over yonder! This pic should have been sharpened in the postprocessing phase to reduce the unfocused effect. The composition is good though. |

| At first glance the greyness of the land kinda turned me off of the overall picture. However, after looking at it for a few minutes I now think it completely enhances the picture. I really like the fence in the corner too, don't know why, I just like it. |
