Well, if you are trying for trees, then they need to be the subject. This one, like the previous one, is about the headstone. Not that this is a bad shot, just that the trees are more of a framing element rather than the subject. -- Best regards, Bruce Tuesday, January 15, 2008, 5:21:46 AM, yo

Thanks for the comment Bruce. I was actually trying for tree shots for the fall contest, but maybe the headstones in the shot take that away.?? Maybe i could crop and use this in another catagory, as i do like the line up of the stones. Dave On Jan 14, 2008 6:15 PM, Bruce Dayton <[EMAIL PROTECTE

Very nicely composed - the alignment of the headstones really lead the eye into the image. The branches on the right are a bit distracting but I suspect avoiding them would have been difficult. Cheers Brian ++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://mem

I like this. The only nit I can pick is the way the tree trunk lines up with the edge of the second headstone; and I don't care for the intrusion of the branches from the right. Might a vantage point a bit to the right work better? Rick --- Bruce Dayton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The headst
