Hi from the Critique Club

You asked for a comment from a Critique Club member.

Fun shot here, I am not sure i am seeing the HDR in this image. Reading your notes also seem to confirm this. HDR is usually 2 or more shots that are blended together. BUT in saying that, the old fashioned way was using your exposure , highlights shadows, contrasts and I think you may have gone this way. As I am pretty sure that shooting from a speeding car would be hard to get 2 or more shots the same!

You have amazing sharpness here, the clarity is spot on. The cyans do seem just a tad cyan. Your POV is fair, I think if you had cropped up to the fence and had the sky as the main focal point this would have scored a little higher. Your DOF is excellent with everything in focus.

Nice shot and I hope you had a nice holiday!

Moving animals are tough subjects for HDR multiple image blending, if that's what this is. Lots of sky, distant meadow and subject farm house.

Good use of the technique to overcome the lousy midday sun.

Interesting that your Caption is about 3% of the image. Seems like the sky was the subject.
