Thanks a lot for the post-challenge comments and to frisca for PMing me about them.
To be honest it was a bit disappointing to get no feedback whatsover at the end of the challenge and you're definatly a nice bunch to have taken the time to do it.
It was not possible to put some sky in there, there are hills and a gulf in the background, the sky is too far.
Image sharpness : I forgot to sharpen the image before submitting it and my camera tends to produce soft images indeed.
I think I could have gotten a bit more depth of field with a smaller aperture but the fact that everything seems to be on the same plane is probably due to the zoom factor I used (this is a really cropped part of the original picture)

Hi...
I gave you a five on this shot...
I think you have an interesting scene here, but the shot doesn't draw me in...
The details seem a little soft. Could be a focus issue, or a post processing (downsize to submit, without sharpening??).
Nice colors and you've got the potential for a fun shot. Worth revisiting...

| Needs a bit more field of depth. It look like the everything is almost on the same plane. Some sky would add some depth also. |

| Hello. For this, I gave you a 5. The picture has pleasing lines that seem to draw a "z" across the field. However, the exposure is a bit too much, creating a very harsh blown-out effect on the majority of the pic. It also needs a little more color saturation - or if you prefer, just desaturate all together and just make it a nice sepia or b/w. Finally, there's a need to sharpen it up a bit to create more interest in the overall texture of the composition. Good to see you here in DPC! |

Phillippe!
I was just looking at the challenge finishes since I didn't vote. I'm shocked to see you received NO comments on this, yet you must be wondering why this score. I like this shot for the following reasons:
the colours remind of the parched colours of summer, and the lines and dots of green bushes break up the monotone.
The problems I see with it are:
there isn't a significant point of interest and not enough in the shapes and lines we do see to keep attention. Its just sort of a background without a subject.
Overall, I think its a great effort for your first entry, congratulations on your socre, and I hope to see more from you soon! :) Don't be discouraged at the lack of comments, either! If all else fails, ask for some in the forums. Many people are happy to oblige.

I'm commenting because you received zero comments!
First of all, I gave you a 4. I think there's something wrong with the focus and I don't think this represents any one season to me. It is, however, a decent looking subject and there are nice colors. Maybe something as a subject in this nice landscape would have made it stand out?
Happy shooting,
