I like the sillouette against the sky and the soft color of the sunset sky in the bank. Is it tilted a little to the left? Maybe you could straighten it. Lucky you to have such a nice place to take pictures!

I think it is a nice shot but sillouette could have been improved by focusing on to a darker subject. Because i could still see some light at the front of the lens which gives shine to the grass or whateve the land in front..

I agree... you could crop it to straighten the horizon.

It's also a very dim picture. That's kinda the point, I know, but on my screen (which tends to be a touch dark), it was hard to make out exactly what was going on in the pic. If you take it into PS, you might play around with levels and/or curves.

it's a nice pic, though.

Thanks everyone. I actually had my camera propped on a cinder block because I didn't have my tripod with me. I'm totally a slacker when it comes to cleaning up my pictures after the fact. Obviously something that would help my pictures. Thanks for the suggestions.

I like the clarity of this shot...also how there is just enough light to give the important elements texture. To my eyes, the well-lit house on the right tends to distract away from what I am assuming is your focal point (the barn). You might consider cropping the house from the picture in Photoshop. Good job.

I think the worms-eye-view of this shot makes it feel eerie and emotional (in a good way).
