I know I'm reaching a bit.. but at least I'm out here trying to compose! I found the textures of the old farmhouse, the Evergreen, the naked trees and the farm plow interesting and mood provoking, even if subtly.

I am working on my composition also. I will give you my input on this one. I think you need a little fill light. It should not offset the polarizing effect at all. The big evergreen blocks the farmhouse too much. I wonder what the shot would have looked like if you took it standing way, way to the right?

I agree.. not enough farmhouse, and tried every angle. This angle gave me the most "house" ... It was strategically placed out of public view, and I didn't feel like getting an arse full of birdshot for trespassing :)

not sure what the subject is.....house.....plow......setting. If the latter the only thing that would make much difference would be the light. If either of the other two you have to decide if the subject is worth buck shot in the arse.

Well.. the subject is the house, sitting so obviously (too much?) on the 3rds.... And I'm not sure any photo is worth getting into a gunfight for.

thanks for that - then i think regardless of where you place the house
(rule of thirds) it won't matter because the house is too small in the frame to command one's attention.........you are simply too far away...i think

Any larger and I wouldn't have caught engough sky, or the plow would be gone. It was the best I could get, while still capturing all that interested me... the sky, the house, textures of the trees, and the field and plow.... I'm sure if the house wasn't hiding, it would be plenty prominent as the subject... But I just played the hand that was dealt. I'll tell you.. it's nowhere near as easy composing in the Winter.. as it is in the summer.

aderburg..whatever you want to shoot then go ahead and shoot it. that is what taking a picture is all about. You were there you know the liminted shot you had and you went with what you thought was the best. I respect that. I too have taken a few off the wall shots and got a lot of bad remarks, not that you did. However for the conditions I thought you did very well. I give you a grade of 70! Keep on a clicking my man.

I think the photo has a lot of interest. To me the piece of farm equip in forground is distracting....On my laptop I actually have to scroll up and down to see the full picture and if I cut off the bottom just below the very top of the cattails the composition changes and to my eye it gets better....try it and see what you think.

I guess so... I find the piece of farm equipment and the very edge of the field with it's golden charm, well... charming and of added interest.
