I think it's fabulous. The contrast of textures between the silos and the soft clouds, which still have enough tonal variation to make them interesting (but I'm a sky kinda guy), the fantastic lighting, all of these are what work for me. Just a curiousity, did the color version work? Great job!

You just post stuff like this so the rest of us will feel inadequate, don't you? I do like it very much.

Really nice light and textures.
I would back off on the vignetting in the top corners.

Agree. The trees growing up through the empty siloes are wonderful ... those silos have been empty for a Long Time. Also, I'm glad you submitted the image with 4000+ resolution so I can meaningfully click-zoom into the image to study closer. |

Everything comes into play for this fantastic shot… Sky with great clouds, just the "right" light, curves of the landscape and finally, those two old silos with a tree! Framing and B/W process are no less good!
Bravo

Works for me as I'm a sucker for the "Nature reclaiming" type of image.
There is a bit of dirt close to the top above the right edge of the left hand silo you want to get rid of if printing ;-)

Thank you all for the feedback! I really appreciate it!
David, we have had a lot of rain and everything is very green, too green for my liking. B+W helps matters. There is a (slightly different) colour shot in the "Hopewell" gallery on my site.
Chris, Francois, Russ, l_d_ and "sd" - thank you.
Jaffy, thanks for that, I only picked it up after I'd posted it!

Good composition, subject and light - although I do find the silos a little on the small side in the overall weight and balance of the image. I would have been tempted to move in a little bit closer, but I am a move in closer to fill the frame kind of guy  However I do think that if you print the image large, that the scale and balance could then work very well. Great shot. Dave |

Great shot! I would try the following to see if they added anything: - Add more contrast to the sky
- Tone down the highlights in the bushes next to the silos and the grass running along the base of the photo
I think the burning in of the top corners is fine. Well done! Roger |

… William, I prefer the B&W image, not only for the B&W treatment but also for the framing. There's just more room to appreciate the landscape and the silos. |
