Greetings from the Critique club!
My first impression when I saw this photo: It looks like a post card from the 1950's.
Relation to the challenge: The grain is obvious here and is essential in the "message" of the photo. 100% relevant to the challenge. The grain itself is very well done.
Composition: The photo is very well composed. I like the fence lines, they really draw you into the photo. I'm 50/50 on the foreground, it's stark and empty, which can be good and can be bad. It leaves you to contemplate the mountains here, which I think were the real point of this picture. Finially, I really like how the mountain trails off to the horizon on the right side.
Technique: I don't mind that the highlights in the mountain are blown out, or nearly so, but I do think there's a lack of contrast in them. Maybe if you had brought down the levels a little bit you'd get some definition back in them.
Post processing: No indication of what you did, but whatever it was it was done well. There's nothing too sharp, glowing, or anything else.
Overall Impression: It's well done, but it's not spectacular. It would have gotten a 6 or so from me during the challenge voting. Well done, but needs a little more work to really pull out the emotions. Finally, I agree with the commetner who mentioned the title. //www.dictionary.com is a great free, online dictionary. Anything obviously wrong with the title is going to loose a point in my voting.
I hope this critique was helpful and I would really appreciate a PM from you, letting me know if it was helpful. Also, if you have any suggestions on how to give a better critique I'd appreciate it! :)
Good luck in your future challenges!
