Ignore It (It'll go away)
Welcome to this critique thread. Please read the purpose statement and the guidelines regarding participation.
Purpose
The primary purpose of this thread is to provide a forum where photographers can give and receive constructive criticism on one another's photographs. By setting up some basic guidelines we hope that this thread will provide a forum where the give and take of honest constructive criticism can help us become better photographers.
Guidelines/Ground Rules
The thread has very specific rules regarding participation. The one basic rule is that you cannot provide criticism on an image or comment in a critique thread unless you also have an image posted. To post an image to this thread you must be a participant. Participation in this thread is limited. Here are the guidelines and ground rules for participation:
• Participation in this thread is limited to 5 photographers
• Participants join the thread by posting their intention. You can simply reply with your intent to join by posting something like: "I'm joining," "I'm in," or just state your name
• Joining is on a "first come, first served" basis. The first 5 to reply become the participants
• Once the thread has 5 participants, no other photographers can join or participate in the thread
• Once the thread is full of participants all photographers will upload their image(s)
• The number of photos for each participant is limited to one
• Photographers attach photos as thumbnails (no inline images or links)
• Photographers post their images supplying titles (if any) and other pertinent information (the amount of information should be minimal)
• Photographers can only comment on their own images and reply to comments only when everyone else in the thread has posted their comments on the image
• Every participant must comment on every photo (except their own—initially)
• Every participant must make at least two comments, one positive comment, and one constructive criticism (which is actually two positive comments)
• Once every photographer has commented then a free flowing discussion begins. It is at this point that every photographer can comment on their own work and reply to comments, ask questions, etc.
• The participants decide when the thread closes.
If you'd like to participate in a critique thread and need some ideas about how to proceed with viewing images critically, you may find this thread helpful:

I like the soothing tones of this photo. The blueish tint and the silhouettes blend very well together. This is the first thing that came to my mind when I took a look at your posted image, Todd.

Again, I am commenting what comes to my mind first when taking a look at this photo. The "light" is too harsh and the top portion of the photo could be cropped just above the head of the man. Contrast could be improved upon. I wonder whether it is scan that shows me this image in need of contrast control or whether the image itself actually looks harsh to you too.

I'll comment tomorrow, I'm packing to shoot before light is gone tonight. Cheers and have a good long weekend.

Jan,
The first thing that came to my mind when inspecting your posted image was you packed many things into this image. It is very busy. I don't know [yet] what you could have done differently, taking into account the power line and the fence in the foreground.
