Airing out a Tunnel

c/c/feedback really appreciated.

Thanks for taking a look.

Hi, Henry. I like the light, shadows and tones of this shot. Your sky is gentle and nice as well. There is a lean in the photo and I would adjust that so that the photo is level. Then I would crop out the trunk of the tree so that the line the eye follows doesn't stay around the trunk and fence. Those chain link fences are pretty unsightly, so I would direct attention away from it. I like the shadows on your main building. Regards, Maria

Maria,

 

Thanks very much for your critique. Yes, you're right, the horizon is a bit off. Wow, I didn't catch that. It was ruler straight on my print (I just went and checked) but my jpg anf tif's don't match. AAAH. Bad workflow error.

What struck me as I took this photo was of course the geometry of the structure. I should have concentrated on that. I think I tried too hard to bring it out within the "landscape", framing it in. Rather than drawing the eye to where I wanted, I did indeed misdirect. I think I do need to work on re-cropping this and see how to enhance the geometry of the structure, instead of throwing in points of reference that distract rather than enhance. I really appreciate your input.

 

Thanks,

Henry
