Re: PAW 2007 - 4 - GDG
Godfrey, For me, the stone wall divides the picture too much. Could you please go back and re-shoot the pic with the wall more in the foreground? And please have a pint of real ale for me, while you're at it!

RE: PAW 2007 - 4 - GDG
Lovely. There's a great feeling to the shot with the brooding skies, disheveled grass/wildflowers in the foreground, and the stone wall. The lush greens play against the grays nicely. It makes me feel as if I'm standing there.

Re: PAW 2007 - 4 - GDG
Very nice, Godders. I think it's the best landscape I've seen from you. Excellent detail, rich tonality. an interesting scene and a pleasing composition. The foreground flowers add interest and dimensionality, the powerful sky adds drama. Precisely rendered. Wow!

Nice one, Godfrey. There's a lot in the frame but it's handled nicely.

Re: PAW 2007 - 4 - GDG
Hello Godfrey, I like the shot, but the foreground really doesn't do much for me. If I crop it to have just a little grass before the stone fence, it works much better for me. -- Best regards, Bruce Thursday, January 25, 2007, 5:15:48 PM, you wrote: GD> A chill, damp morning on the Isle of Man, photographing the ruined GD> farm at Montpelier ...

This I do like. Here "wrong" composition seems right. For me the foreground adds context, depth, and a nice contrast to the scene. Good work.

It has a lot going for it, but the shadows almost make it look vignetted (dark on sides and bottom). I'd bring up a little shadow detail on the right to counteract that effect.

Re: PAW 2007 - 4 - GDG (mh)
Thanks for the additional comments ... Paul, Michael, Mark, Harry, Boris, Bruce, et al! I have about 8-12 exposures of this scene where I varied the dividing line of the wall, foreground and background, and the focus point. How the wall, the foreground and the background interact, where the focus zone is placed, are all pretty important in this kind of photo. In the end, this is the framing and focus zone I like most as it enhances the near-far relationships and creates that feel of several planes in one view. My eye rests naturally in the bottom third and reaches up into the distance. I also feel it works best with the rest of the set. But that's my opinion ... which in this case I get to stand by having tried the other crops and such and not liking them as much. I love this stuff. :-) Godfrey mark hahn (amongst others) wrote: > I'm not big on how the wall divided the photo up > either... >> http://homepage.mac.com/ramarren/photo/PAW7/04.htm -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

Re: PAW 2007 - 4 - GDG (mh)
If anything, moving the wall a bit farther away might be effective. Personally, I'd leave it the way it is. Very nice.
