Hebden Bridge (Canal)

[Banath]

I took this the other week, I like the picture but I'm not sure about something? does some of the sky need cropping is it all a bit central what do you reckon?

It's a nice shot...but I think having the building more central might have added a cherry to the cake

Lovely colours and reflections

I see what you mean I think there is probably too much sky but i am sure the experts on here will give you better advice. The colours are lovely. I think I would have liked it a little more to the right to get more of the canal boats in.

Cheers, that maybe it I think the colour of the trees caught my attention when I took the shot so I tried to get them in aswell

Lovely colours and reflections

One odd feature is the colour of the water, it looks almost Caribbean. You could crop it to a square, that would allow you to lose some sky and keep a classic aspect ratio; Klimt used to paint his landscapes in a square. Some odd ideas that might help resolve your concerns.

The tree competes with the building for your attention and the sky, although a beautiful blue is largely wasted space.

On the plus side the exposure is spot on and you successfully recorded the scene. I would have chosen either the tree or the building and worked out a composition that gave them prominence.

HTH!

For me the thing that makes it seem strange is the apex of the keyside being off-centre. The converging points lead your eye to one side.

It still a nice shot on a stunning day in a lovely setting (when was that, I obviously missed summer this year... )

Cheers Russell, I don't remeber the water looking like that when I took it, I must just have been lucky with the reflection!

Cheers for the advice, thats another box I need to tick in my head before I press the shutter!
