Keep on Rolling

Since no one has made a critique on this, I shall! Bear in mind, I am picky, but I promise not to be too picky on you!

Vision at 4.5 Stars.

Why? Because the vision you had with this particular photo is awesome.It brings in the colors and view of the field, helps give you an idea of what the hay bails look like. My only suggestion is this: where you see the gap in the trees, near the middle, perhaps using that to your advantage to look down the field more to give a more 'in depth' look at the entire field? Not too much! Just enough to give us more of the hill, down hill!

Originality at 5 stars.

Why? Because your originality in this photo was perfect! It's all you, and it speaks about what you like, and what you enjoy in photos!

Technique at 3.5 Stars.

Why? Because if you notice on the plant in the left corner, as well as the trees a little bit, you will see they are not as sharp. Whether it's based on the lens you used, or your settings, that can have an impact on your photo, and lessen the impact a little bit. I noticed your aperture was F8 and your shutter speed was 1/250. Perhaps upping your Aperture to say... oh f11 and your shutter down a little bit more say down to 1/50 will help bring those all into focus, and sharpen the image that much more. Other than that, very good! (See I promised not to get too picky on this part ><;<img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Wink)"/>

Impact at 4.5 Stars

Why? Like I mentioned on the technique above, the sharpness of detail was probably based on your settings or your lens. It's hard to tell. But I love how you did the photo. Also! Have you ever tried taking two photos of two different exposures, one to bring out the sky, and one to bring out the colors? If this is a HDR or High Dynamic Range image (where you blend both differently exposed photos using Bridge & Photoshop into one image) my suggestion is to use Boost or Saturation to sliiiightly bring out the colors a little more so they POP rather than be slightly dulled, and to bring out the intenseness of the sky. If this is not an HDR image, perhaps trying that will help your impact. Plus, the shadows in the trees and such will be better blended to help bring out the intenseness in the image a little more to help the impact.

Okay! Hope that you like this critique! Like I said, I promised and tried hard not to get too picky (because for some reason, I like photos to look a certain way, and don't like them to not be perfect) so I hope I wasn't too picky here! Just threw in some helpful suggestions <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/> Great picture!!
