well, the foreground lacks interesting detail. The focal point of the photo seems a little out of focus.
Maybe you could use the many walls to provide a lead in to the mainsubject by shooting the photo somewhere else.

very atmoshperic (excuse the pun!. Good colours and an interesting crop on a stormy sky.
In answer to your question about my fisherman - yes it is real - I was on top of a cliff looking down on him.

I've given this an average rating - the main points that let this shot down (and dont leave much left to praise I'm afraid!) are:
- poor depth of field (foreground is out of focus)
- overexposed sky
- muddy coloured grass
- apparent slope to the right
- large empty front RHS of foreground
I'm sure there is a good shot in there somewhere. perhaps a macro of the lichen on a tombstone, or standing up high and getting an unusual perspective on the stones. Even a bit of lens flare of the sun shining through a gap in the background cross would add some interest and atmoshere.
Cheers
Nick

nice once Kristina - bit like my self port. in the sunglasses! I like your shots so much I got myself a little Canon Ixus digicam - lugging round a load of pro-D SLR kit means it stays at home on hot days so at least if I have a small cam all the time I dont miss any great shots - like yours!
Best

...like the high altitude wispy clouds. There's a good photo everywhere you look!
I took your advice and cropped my lighthouse. Did you get any good pictures from your recent visit to UK?

Nice colours, lighting and exposure. A slow shutter speed (1/8 sec) would add more atmosphere and get rid of that horrible frame!
I like the low angle viewpoint and depth of field

great photo - good depth of field - what focal length was the lens set at?
A bit of post processing in terms of levelling the horizon and maybe dodging the bird would make this even better. I had a go myself (se attached)

Great range of colours again showing your excellent eye for a good photo. Maybe use PS to underexpose the bright plank on the pallet which does draw the eye away from the red shed.
Hey Kristina - how many photos do you take each day?

Nice shot - good composition and crop but maybe make the foreground a little sharper by throwing the background into less focus or make it darker.

Nice composition and I like the way the fence / track lead the viewer into the photgraph nicely but the focus is a little fuzzy (or JPEG compression). Also the barn tilts to the right - is this real or is the photo crooked!

Thanks for the feedback Alius. The original image was a sharp colour JPEG and in Photoshop I added noise and converted to B/W.
I'll try what you suggest

Nice DOF but I find the dark shadow zone in the front centre of the iamge a bit distracting.
Great colours but pity about the poor JPEG quality!
