    Re: There's still life...

    my first two thoughts on this were

    1- it's a little under exposed

    2- what is the center of focus? You have 3 interesting subjects in the frame (tree, horses and the truck) but none of them feel like thay have been showcased in the shot IMO.

    With a 28 MM lens at those settings I would have slowed the shutter down to about 1/100 or even 1/80 to boost the exposure. Thd DOF is good so the other settings were just fine.

    Just my opinion.

    Re: There's still life...

    Exactly what I was thinking - what am I supposed to be looking at?

    For me the horses aren't brought out enough to make this work. I like the line the truck makes but the horses let it down for me. I would have used DOF to concentrate me on the horses.

    Lovely sky.
