Interesting composition! It looks over-sharpened to me though, and the "halo" between the horizon and the sky is very "unnatural" looking. Otherwise, nicely done.

Interesting use of subjects. Old volcanic cylinder standing up and a hay cylinder laying down. Close to Virginia border?

Like this, very simple, yet effective, the cloud formations are fantastic, especially with the sepia tones!

This is a textbook shot. I was wondering when it would pop up. Fortunately, I don't think textbook shots are bad. In fact, I think using that term means the shot is done how the shot SHOULD be done. Great shot.

Great composition. I think this is the first upclose hay shot I've seen. Very moody shot.

The skyline is oversharpened for my taste

Beautiful shot and composition... the clouds in the sky are fantastic, and the sepia tone works very well. The one nit I have to pick, however, is that the edge of the hill in the background seems a bit oversharpened, creating a distraction.

Nice color, very sharp, cool backdrop. Great job!

Nice scene. The composition could be improved by having the bale off-center and perhaps a little further away, so it wouldn't dominate the scene so much. Your use of texture is good!

The sky does not look its from the same photo, especially with a halo around the mountains!

Lovely shot! I love the toning here, the sepia really suits the scene. Very sharp, but I think that it enhances the shot. GL The sky is fantastic!

This is a very good idea for a country photo. I would have not centered the haybale though, and maybe I would have taken this in landscape format instead of in portrait. Somehow it seems a little squeezed in like this. The quality of the image is very good though - 8.

Ack you over-did the sepia I think. And there is a HUGE "halo" between the mountain and sky. :(

those clouds do not belong.

In the background it looks like there is a white line between the mountains and the sky. is that from over-sharpening or sharpening edges?
Otherwise, I like it. Good texture in the hay and the grass.

Cows can't get a square meal?? Great background. Nice sepia as well.

The line separating the sky and the ground is a bit distracting...Would have liked to see this one in color.
