Dec 22, 2015		     Looking at this and your alternative posted in the outtakes, my guess is why most people prefer the outtakes (including me) is the sky here looks a bit overdone. Well done with the TT placement though!

Thanks for the nice comment anyway.

Dec 21, 2015		     Beautiful shot. Well balanced asymmetrically and between dark and light as you mention. The rays in the sky look as if they were created with a cloning brush. I love the texture and detail in the foreground, I think it helps anchor the trees very well.

Dec 21, 2015		     The barn really seems to ground the photo, and the horizontal lines naturally draw the eye to it. I love the lacy look of the trees against the pale sky, though "starburst" effect distracts a bit.

Dec 20, 2015		     Balance/composition is excellent, though the fuzziness in the sky looks odd to me.

Dec 20, 2015		     Lovely tones and processing, I think the balance is about right, in my top picks.

Dec 19, 2015		     I am not sure how well the trees balance the barn, rather the best balance is between the relatively dark foreground and the dramatic sky. Overall, a great image, in the style of JohnComyn, which should be taken as a compliment.

Dec 19, 2015		     Striking! I am not totally sure that the barn balances out the weight of the 2 trees. Still a nice photo.

Dec 18, 2015		     Not sure if you are the same one who posted the 3 trees in the Main challenge, but I like this one much better. Look more balanced, and the barn looks nice.
