Zsolt, this is well composed and exposed, to me it looks a little soft?

Wonderful Image! This is a truly fantastic scene. The fence has so much character. The tones are wonderful, and the vignette adds a nice touch.

Is the horizon tilted as part of the theme?

Best regards,

Charlie

Viewed on my home computer it does not apear soft, Looks heaps better on this machine :)

thank you very much, i am glad you like it!

Charlie: you brought up a very interesting and important question. in reality this photo is a little bit tilted to the left, but as the hillside on the left is very dominant, you may have the feeling it is tilted to the right. i choose this position as you see to get some balance between the background trees, the little hillside on the right , against the big dominant hillside on the left. for my eyes, this is the closest to appear balanced. but i am not very sure, so, any opinion is welcomed.

Zsolt,

I played around with it a bit, and aligned it to the trees. I think I like the aligned version a bit better. I have started to pay attention to such things after a few of my images have been tilted, and people pointed it out to me. I'm not sure if that's the reason it stood out to me, or if it's because the tallest tree is so straight. Here is the what I had in mind. The rotation is such that there was quite a bit of cropping. Hope you don't mind me posting what I had in mind.

Regards,

Charlie

Perfect! I love a lot your work and style!

beautiful composition, great image

thanks again!

Charlie: i agree, a tilted image is very annoying for me too, it is an important thing. but sometimes when you dont have a clean-cut comparsion line ( a reflection or the horizon line) it is very hard to decide whether the real straightness, or the impression of straightness is a better choice. that being said about theory, in this case i must confess: you have 100% right, your version is much better, i will re-process it soon. in this case the real straightness was a better choice. thanks for your advice.

Очень хорошо!

Simple, clean and "elegant", I really like it. I went numbre of times between your photo and Charlie's aligned version of it. Maybe aligned look in some way better but the crop on the left site takes from the beauty of it. It look to me like im seeing just a part and not the complete photo. But thats just for me.

Effective perspective.

Hello Zsolt,

nice to see an image from you again.

I have tried to capture fences myself, but sofare with no success. It is for me a real challenge. However, seeing this image you makes it look so easy. You manage to bring out the beauty in every detail.  

I have also looked at the alternative from Charly. I am not convinced (soory Charly). The position of the tree play its part in the storry this image tells. Not all trees are tilted in the same direction. Has mother nature composed it? I guess so.

 Also the grass in the front playes a vital role. Its the intonation.  Cutting it away would be as starting to listen at Smetanas Moldau ( Vltava) from the middle and not from the beginning. What a pitty.

Taking a good look at things. In the original version the bush on the left side of the tree is ok aligned. In version of Charlie the bush is a bit tilted right downhill as is also the last tree.

Looking at the tree which has a lot of branches on the left side makes the tree lean heavy toward left. The nature will force the tree left due to heavy load of snow in the winter.     

But that is only me. 

Kind regards

impressive lead into this very cold, desolate but touching image...regards....David

The closeness of the fence as leans towards the viewer is almost tangible in its presence, and that what I think captures the initial interest of the viewer and draws them along the length of the fence line deeper into the scene.  I do like Charlies version too, but unfortunately with the rotation it loses some of the foreground space.

Sincere Compliments

It is an image, you look at it and ponder.  Like  most of us, and most of the time, past and present, and who knows, how  our future going to turn out. Maybe, more crocked as this fence here.  This image has a content, to move  your soul and mind, not like the two stones.

Cheers
