Subject saturated in shadow really adds to the theme.

you sure that's a plough? What's that tall object on our left hand side doing there??? (NICE shot - gorgeous location, and an obsolete farm tool of SOME kind, I'd say.)

It's a pretty shot of a beautiful place. It evokes another time. The subject seems a little understated.

nice shot but, too much contrast in the picture, lighting needs to be balanced. This could have been done with a graduated ND filter. I don't know if you could process your way out of this. A very difficult shot .

Ah, it almost worked. If you can lit up the foreground a bit, this would be a winning photo. I give an eight.

Great idea to include the old stone wall & the fields in the background. Really emphasizes the idea of old pastoral farm life. The blue sky & clouds finish it off nicely.

Just wish there could have been sunshine on the plough itself as the white balance looks a little off. 8.

Less sky would have made this photo 5

Nice composition but i feel that the foreground is a little to dark in contrast to the background, so that you lose the detail of the plough

I like the idea. I only wish that the forground was brighter. My eyes are attracked to the horizon and the sky, not to the tractor.

nice idea, but next time try some fill flash on the foreground to bring out your main subject, as I find my eyes are drawn to the bright hillside away from your main subject.

Great landscape. Seems a little dark at the bottom. Draws eyes to top.

Foreground, and hence the main subject, seem a little dark. Beautiful scene but more detail in the plough and the stone fence would be great!!

The bright background pulls your attention. Cool idea, just wish the subject was light, and the background darker.

Good use of leading lines

This would be a stronger entry I think if it was a little brighter and it was cropped differently. I had to find the plow since I was drawn instantly to the hill in the background.

The lighting pulls your eye to the sky and not the old rusty implement. Maybe do it at a different time of day .

A bit too dark in the lower part of the image
