I like this. The deep brooding since of the cowboy against the vivid blue sky is very stunning.

This is just plain AWESOME!!! I wanted this one to be in the top 3. 5 minimum! But it finished with a great score, so congratulations for that!

Love the wide open sky and the large rolls... makes the person look small in comparison. The sky looks a little bit too blue, and even the hay and jeans look like they've taken on a bit too much of a bluish tint. Great capture of the feeling of the country!

That blue is nice. The weathered hay seems dark.

I absolutely love this one!!!!
Not only because of nice colour of the sky and everything else but because this picture take me to a place I'll never find though I've been looking for my whole life.
Peaceful, silent and so beautiful. It brings so much comfort when I look at it. It's my favourite. Thanks for submitting it:)

Good job. Love the minimalist approach and the human element provides a strong focal point.

Great comp! Love the vastness depicted in the sky, contrasted with the lone cowboy. And the haystacks add a cool dimension. But could it be that the magenta tones are a little too strong?

I think that the blue is overdone. Other than that it is a good photo.

color tones are somewhat messed up

Well staged pic. Only complaint is that the sky is too blue, it makes it seem unnatural.

Wow excellent work. This is a prefect vision of Country Life. I really love how blue the sky is.

I like the composition and it meets the challenge well but the sky is TOO blue.

very impressive mood and coloring

Good composition. Maby it would have looked even better if we didn't see the horizon in the background. It would bring out the round form of the hey. And I think it would look excellent in black and white. Good job and good luck.

Great shot, but just a little to over saturated with the blue...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/12/2006 09:10:44 PM
The colours seem a little too saturated ... with a killer sky blue.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/12/2006 08:58:25 PM
I think the saturation here is a bit heavy.

good use of thirds, and subject...

Reminds me of "Brokeback Mountain." I like the composition but the bales seem a touch dark. I love the sky!!!
