golden hay in barn

[steffievdakker]

I took this picture of hay in a barn in the summer of 2005 and I have always liked it. I would like to include it in my portfolio that I have to make for the art academy that I hope to start studying at next summer. I'd like to hear what you think though. I have always loved taking pictures but no one has ever told me what they really think about composition, colors, etc. till I found this forum! Thanks, very helpful!

Hey their. I really do like this shot. The framing of the centre bale is very nice with no overexposure. Very nice shot, stay around here for a while and you will get all the help and support you need

steffievdakker,

More of those choices: the orange is attention-grabbing, then my eye trails off downward following the little extra lower-right frame-exit bit. Not cloning it out, but adding a gradual shadow of darkness over it would lessen the attention it draws. (Think "flower stem")

Otherwise photo almost stirs up my allergy. Good shot.

good image....i like the warmth of the color stauration ....the little hint of the bales in the shadows....and when i viewed the largwer sized image, how crisp your focus on the hay is.....

i would like to see what a crop from the right, top, and bottom portions of the frame might do for this image....

thanks for sharing it....

i like/am learning from the tech their talking about, but I am a just 'feel' person-at this point. The hay looks good enough for me to eat and I can see the rest of the proerty without seeing it. I love this shot

Thanks you all so much for all the nice comments! I'm glad you like the shot! It is very helpful to finally have people comment on my pictures. Usually people just say 'I like it' or 'I don't like it' and they don't tell you why. Thanks!
