Hi from the Critique Club!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

This is a lovely scene - a very typical depiction of hope for many people. It's well composed with some beautiful details but the tones and contrast are suffering an imbalance. There appears to be some heavy use of the shadow/highlight filter which suggests that the shot was rescued rather than a clean original. In such instances I would not submit the shot unless delighted with the results.

I think you've almost achieved what you wanted here, but it's clear to me that the shot you wanted in-camera wasn't quite there. You have still managed to communicate the theme however and it's where I look whenever I hope for positivity to visit me!

Cheers
Jon

Why would anyone chalenge this photo. It has been darkened (too much) so that the clouds and the sun wouldn't wash. Poor composition.

This is the same idea I had but did'nt get back in time to enter this challenge. Great DOF but I would have liked to see the foreground a little lighter.

I would have cropped out most of the lower portion of the picture. The silver streak (a body of water?) is rather distracting.

I love the clouds, but the rest of the shot is a little to dark for me.
