From a trip I took this past fall to Babcock State Park in WV

First post on this site. I was just curious what everyone thinks of

this image. It is from a trip I took last fall with my daughter. I

hope you all enjoy it.

Great Composition !

Very good composition with great color

I thought this photo looked familiar so I went looking on Webshots. Lo & behold, there it was. Now, Mr. Best, which one of you "photographers" is the liar/thief???

I can assure you Mr. Dunlop I am not the Liar as I have the raw images to prove this shot to be mine to go along with the 400 plus images of the mill I shot that day.

i think you should look more closely at the images you make accusations about Mr Dunlap

I wish I could give 10/10 >>simply this work is amazing,,cong

Very nice. I know this place. I photographed it several years ago while on a Popular Photography photo trek. Yours is a different angle shot than mine, but still very nice (see my folder).

Superbe !!!

I read the comments above and would like to say, ether way whoever took it took a fantastic picture! ;o)

John, While the shots are without a doubt very similar, comparing them side by side, they are not the same one. I doubt if they were even taken the same day, nor were they made from exactly the same spot. Easy mistake to make on what is probably the world's most photographed mill....Jim

Thanks Jim I am happy someone else has noticed that the two images are different.

Gary, I can't help standing up for someone in the right, I should think if John were able to see both original photos side by side he wouldn't have made the comment he did....Both are just plane great photographs....Jim

Sorry you had a bad experience with your very first post. p.n is really an awesome forum, and I hope you give it another chance. The photo is beautiful.

Actually, the one referenced has a better composition in that it's not 'too tight' on the bottom. They gave it more space. This one feels a bit more cramped, and thought so before I saw the other. Good exposure, soft light always helps as did the haze, adds depth.
