I couldn't resist. I have been waiting for the longest time to get pictures of these rolls of hay... and on this particular day, the sky just happened to be perfect when I walked out into the field. So, for the fourth time in two weeks, I present a roll of hay from southern Sweden. (And as fair warning, there are a few others from the same field that I like, but they are so similar to the first few that if they ever show up on this blog, will be months from now when everyone has forgotten about the initial ones. I promise.)

    Jim, fantastic image! I like the bulls eye composition and think it works great in this case. Nice toning too. Great image.

  • sophie // August 26, 2008

    Yes, I agree with other comments about the nice composition. This could become a favourite!

  • Ásgarðr // September 4, 2008

    Nice image Jim, but, and now I'm being influenced by the commenters above, it doesn't give me the feeling you were trying to get the most of the central composition. Just a feeling, could be wrong ;)

    Who needs photographic rules anyway! :-) Great centering here!
