Anita's 52 in 2018

[anitacv]

Happy new year everyone!
Lets hope I can remember how to do this.
Haven't really done much photography over the last year.
Good luck everyone.

Not ideal as sun was behind the building but you cant have too much sun on a cold January day!

Hi Anita good to have you back, a good shot on the gate theme and you did well not to blow the grotty sky. Like the shot in mono and also getting the gate drag marks at the bottom

Mono works well, especially when you have a naff sky to cope with, and I think mono works especially well for this kind of architecture (as we all know, they didn't have colour film back in Henry VIIIs era).

+1 for the mono Anita. Like the drag and the footprints that accentuate the lead in.

with all the above though I would suggest a
keystone tweak ad some tonal taming…

I agree with the above the mono works really well and a nicely composed shot.

Hey Anita

Yup to B&W though I would love to have seen the gate from lower down giving more prominence (if that was at all possible), but wow they are wonderful looking buildings, I assume they are original and not reproductions ??

Great to see you back in, really looking forward to your shots again this year

Hi Anita, welcome back

I like the close up, wide angle feel to the FG end of the gate.

Great photo, great composition, works well in B&W

Welcome back, Anita, and that's a lovely scene to start your new 52. I like the inviting open gate and the lead in to the interesting scene beyond. B&W looks the right choice, not just because of the bland sky but the details in those interesting buildings

Week 1- good choice with monochrome - I prefer the original to the suggested tweak.

The Black an White really suits it and its a lovely building but it is a shame the gate blends into the background after the wall.

Gate(d) - great find for the theme, and the mono conversion suits the image.
