| | | | I don't mind 1, and the vegetation looks good. Yeah, it could be exposed better but the best way to do that would be to wait for the lighting to shift.
The second one needs a bit more of a focal point. I think the bottom frame should be lower so we get a better sense what we're looking at.

| | | | I like second one. The lighting is dramatic and the composition is good. The first thing I look at is "CASE" which I assume is the area of interest. I look around the rest of the image to see space is used effectively. I would rate this image highly.
I don't like the first one as much. You could have tried waiting for better lighting, either directly on the building or coming from behind it. The building itself isn't very interesting. It should rot a little more or have a more interesting shape or (lighting could help this) texture.

| | | | I really like the second one, but it seams to have an odd haze on the left hand side. You shooting without a lens hood?

| | | | I like the color and vegetation in the first picture. The subject and lighting don't do much for me.
I like the composition in the second one, lighting looked good to, but it's a shame that you were shooting without a hood. That green haze takes away from your picture. The picture, at least on my monitor, has a green cast over it. Contrast is also a bit low for my tastes.

| | | | I think that number two is too narrow.
And yes there's that haze. Were you shooting without a hood, as people suggested, or does your equipment have a light leak ?

| | | | Thanks for the comments.
I am really not sure what happened with that haze. I wasn't shooting with a hood, but I don't know if that would have made a difference. See the hole in the door door of the barn in picture one? I took picture number two shooting in that hole. I expect the haze was something to do with the (very) uneven lighting. I tried to make the best of a location that turned out to be a bust.

| | | | I wouldn't say that. That tractor has some magic in it. Go shoot 30 pictures of it. I am sure you will get one that will be stellar. Sometimes it is good to just not think too much about it and fire away. Even easier if you have a camera that will let you get off a few shots per second.

| | | | Anybody have any good advice on exposure compensation with a D70? Also on monitor calibration? I have been having exposure problems. I have read on some Nikon forums that the D70 shoots dark naturally.
I think I have my monitor here at work (Dell flat panel) dialed in quite well, but my monitor at home (Samsung flat panel) not so well. I made a waste of a good UE trip yesterday because of my attempt at exposure comp not working so well. And then processing them at home to compensate I though they were going to be acceptable, but they still turned out way too dark when I loaded them here at work.
