On The Lawson Line

I've shot landscapes for two dozen years. This is the first time I've done critiques on photo.net and will go down the landscape list just to see what kind of images people post here and how they are perceived. Long ago I lurked a bit but did comment because too much that people were positvie about grated against my own aesthetic sense.

If in the first moments of looking at a picture, I find something which strikes me, it is a good sign there might be something to look at. This is the first image of five I've critiqued today that I find at all worthy. First there are no annoying shadows. The green grass and yellow hay has nice horizontal bands, each with their own quality of form. The hay bales make the picture by providing nice shadowing from the obvious low angle sun at the right. Sky color looks a bit wierdly cyan green probably because it is one of the saturated films haha. The barn too blends into the image nicely making for a more interesting image than if it were just fields. Nothing great here but nice and pleasant to look at.
