'Like the composition alot. Any more saturation would be over-bearing in the hitch at whatever is on the door jam. & the red object on the left fender. All the rest of the colors are nicely rendered for a fall day. 'Really nice shot. 'Hope you had fun getting it.

Thank you for your advice Doug, looking back I have to agree with you; I was trying a little to hard with the reds... thank you!

Nice image that does tell the story. You could consider darkening the door so that it doesn't pull the eye away from the subject.

I agree completely with Doug. Take out the over-saturated red and green (on the door jamb as well). Obviously when adjusting colors, you missed this. If I were you, I would think about lowering the saturation overall a tad. Charles may have a thought with darkening the door, although you could consider going in the opposite direction, that is lightening it, just to see how that looks. This would leave the tobacco leaves as the real brown in the shot. You might want to try and bring out a bit more detail in the dark back of the shed, but just a little. My main suggestion would be to crop out the wooden wall at the top down to the opening of the shed and the door, the grass at the bottom up to and including a bit of the barn door and then - if you want to keep the same length/width ratio as in the original - crop a bit from the right and left sides. I think this would leave you with an emphasis on the triangular and rectangular shapes that I think beg to have more prominence. I am by no means an expert, but this is what I would try if this were my shot.

Sorry. Meant to include my name, which I though I did by unclicking the "Submit Critique Anonymously" box. If I have done it wrong again, my name is William Hirshman.
