    I like the composition, it just seems a bit underexposed. Less haze in the horizon would help the eye focus on the picture a bit more as well. Good shot!

    I agree it looks underexposed, but I also would crop out half the sky if not more and also a little off the bottom. I would also sharpen up the bottom a little.

    I have to agree it's too dark. Unless you just darkened it you my not have sufficient detail to lighten it up. I also agree that it does need to be cropped.

    Re: field with snow at dusk

    I like the subject. i agree a crop from the sky will help as the scene is nearly split into two with the horizon in the middle. Also, brightening this up some could improve. I notice there are some line patterns in the sky area. . sort of like a fingerprint on a negative or something. Wondering if you notice it and know what its from.

    Hi Gary,
    I can't see any lines in the sky, unless you mean the clouds just above the horizon. I took the photo with my Ricoh GR Digital, so its not fingerprints

    Thanks for your comments guys. It was very dark when I took the photo, the exposure time is 1 second. I tried to catch the vibe of the moment, that's why I did let it that dark.

    You need to increase alpha and contrast. The trouble for me is it's too balanced. Either crop the sky and leave 2/3 ground or vice versa. Either would work (each with its own meaning).
