 This is my very first challenge and I am a bit nervous about how the scoring will go. I was out with my husband taking pictures to enter in one of the other open challenges for this week (Rural or Urban Landscapes) when I saw this farm. I thought these particular structures might make a nice picture with the sun setting behind them, hopefully creating silhouettes.

Technicals: you did an excellent job with the contre-jour. That takes skill and you handled it well. I like the gradient the sky provides. Sillouettes are also nicely black. I do not like partially sillouetted subjects.

The feel: The biggest issue with the picuture is probably the jumbled appearance of the objects. They do not flow nicely which makes the overall shot less appealing. If it were the two silos and the central pole only, I think it would look nice with the symmetry, but this is ruined by the building behind and the support on the left.

The game: The 5-score rewarded the sky, the ground kept it from being a 6.
