Thanks TillyNice shots for gate Chris. I see what u mean about the second one being more of a crowd pleaser but as a Yorkshire man I don't think you can beat a bit of dry stone walking
Thanks Dave#1 for for me Chris, a great wide open space showing the flint walls and the gate, I do like the other one but 1st for me, great colours and a great shot on theme
Thanks Tim, I was asking a similar question of the first, why there is no track to that gate?Definitely the second gate shot for me Chris. Much more dramatic, it's posing a question as to why there is a gate that can be swung across a road (presumably it's an entrance, but that question goes un-answered.
Thanks Allan, I had a choice of about 8, I thought getting it down to two was doing fairly well.Second has the bigger impact, the road leading to the house all adds to the overall picture I do like the first one too it is as you say in a style you have done before and if that’s what you wanted then it’s your choice, maybe just post the one you want, I am not one for crowd pleasing
Thanks Stan, as is so often the case I would have liked more of the gate in #2 but I was avoiding other distracting elements, signs, poles, etc.Both are very nice shots, Chris. I like the open space of the first and for #2 I like to see a bit more of the gate.
Thanks Phill, fair point about cropping and getting a more isolated gate is somehting I would be looking to do in a reshoot.I like both shots - the depth of field on the second is interesting, but I wonder if a radical crop on the first might strengthen it? I mean taking off some grass at the bottom and cutting just above where the wall meets the right hand side of the shot so the gate becomes the only focal point?
Thanks Mandy.Gate(d) - Both are very good images, but it has to be the second image, with good DOF.
