Week 2 Self-Critique

For this first critique, I'll be using my landscape photo that I submitted.

I titled it "Mountains Tower over Cornfields" as I was feeling especially un-creative that day. Allow me to critique it.
Description: A landscape of the cornfield in front of my house with the rocky mountains in the distance. Silhouettes of leaves cover one corner of the image and touch another as if the photo was taken from a tree.
Analysis: Line is evident in this photo as the road and cornfield's edge provide crisp edges. The leaf silhouettes show shape and space. The sky has a gradient of blue showing value, while the clouds show some gentle shading that has value as well. The textures of the cornfield, distant trees, and mountains are interesting, but not enough to overwhelm the viewer. There are various colors in this piece, but yellow and green are the most noticeable. The corn stalks are repetitive and provide pattern and rhythm to the image. The large proportion of the leaves in comparison to the rest of the objects in the landscape is a bit overpowering. The balance is also a bit off due to the position of the leaf silhouettes and the slight diagonal line of the road.
Interpretation: The sight of cornfields and mountains is a common view where I live, but beauty can always be found in the common things of life.
Evaluation: This photo is a good, quality landscape, and I tried capturing a landscape from an interesting angle.
