I was going to give it a 1 because of the focus but then I can remember all the times I waited for light for a good shot. It exactly represents too early.

Although this picture looks to have potential, the composition is nice, the subject is good, the image is spoiled by being out of focus

Hmmmm....I think a tripod whould have helped immensely here. There is a great deal of camera shake which effectively ruins this shot. The comosition isn't bad although my choice would have been to lower the camera quite a bit to include more foreground, i.e, the road, which in combination with the poles would act as an interesting lead-in for the viewer (see the challenge Vanishing Point for some good examples of this--I believe it was from '04). As it is the blank, washed out sky dominates the frame in an uninteresting way. Definitely try this shot again using a tripod and keeping the idea of vanishing point and leading lines in your mind.

feels like you snatched this whilst riding on the back of a fast motorbike. Blurred and without much interest to the viewer
