Hole in one

[Lady Pitstop]

well it was on the golf course Both handheld but not sure which I prefer - your thoughts most welcome

 

[dellipher]

I like the 2nd one i think its beauitful x

2nd one, its the crop that does it.

 

[Forbiddenbiker]

Hmmm, tricky to decide, after some excessive pondering ...the first for me, I find it slightly more involving and interesting ...although I prefer the softer sky colour on the second.

I could easily change my mind though.

Nice shots both.

I'm with Adam on this one Donna ... ... the first suits the composition very well and the landscape format suits the lean of the tree too ...

Liking it a lot as well ...

 

[Dark Star]

As with Ven and Adam its the 1st for me Donna Whispers in case a mod hears...be careful its over sized!!!!

I prefer the crop in the 2nd shot, but I'd still prefer about half of the foreground cropped.

I like them both!

The tree is an Ent bending to pick up a Hobbit, you can see his legs dangling! ( NO, I'm not on medication!)

I see what you mean..

First one for me Donna I prefer the colours of the sky and somehow it's more involving.

Great shots! I do like the silhouette look to them both.

Another vote for the first one from me

I prefer the first. The second one seems a little squashed in the sky when cropped square but if you crop it to more protrait you'll loose the bushes on the right which help the composition.

Thanks John, whispers back ... "haven't they changed the size allowed now?"

Thanks Susane, I think I know where you're coming from

Thanks everyone for your comments. I think I prefer the landscape version with the sky of the second one, I might try and have a play to achieve that!!

#1 for me. It seems much more balanced than #2 where the sky above the tree is distracting my eye.

#2 is still a nice shot though.

 

[Lady Pitstop]

thanks Willy

Right had a play and came up with this ....

 

[Roger]

I preferred the first the way it was...good composition with the main subject off to the side and the colours are a very nice pastel mix.

 

[hairy]

First one.

 

[RobertP]

After careful consideration #3 for me

 

[Lady Pitstop]

Thank you everyone for commenting - much appreciated

 

[oldgit]

yep I think 3 is the best

 

[Dan S]

Numbers 2's just as amazing as number 3 IMHO

 

[simmo]

I like them all but I think no1 is my favorite.

 

[natjag]

Number three for me. I like the space to the right. It's almosrt like the tree is pointing at it. Also nice to see a sunset (type) picture with a sillouette (sp).

Thanks Natjag, there were loads of twisted and mangled trees on the course, just lucky it was a beautiful sky Thanks for all the comments
