I appreciate your comments and critique. These aren't photographs I'm particularly giddy over, but I do value any input that allows me to shoot/edit more competently in the future.

Pretty unique subject matter, Richard, and I really like this! I like the fact that you put the sun in the image - it certainly captures the mood of the location. The one change I would make would be to crop in from the right hand side, almost up to the subject. It might avoid the bit of the image on the right that doesn't add to the composition.

Very nicely done!

I like this shot Rich and I remember exactly when you were taking this. The sun's inclusion is a very nice element and the placement of the stalk of grass is nice. Shave a little off the right and you've got an even stronger image. Nice vision Rich, keep 'em coming! :smile:

Excellent post, here. I, too like the inclusion of the sun in this one. The right side does not have much going for it. Excellent job with exposure on a tricky subject.

Rich I like this composition. Nicely done with the inclusion of the sun.
