Water, reeds, sky.

Thanks for sharing. Like the composition, however for a BW image, the shadows are a bit to dark and there is little highlights to in the image to make it interesting to view as a BW IMO.

I'd crop a little off the bottom so you loose the turn on the hit the bottom of the reeds on the right hand side and focus is on the right hand side and the diagonal it creates taking you into the rest of the scene.

Cropping I can sort of do.......grad across the reeds????? I can knock them down with a stick

Re: Water, reeds, sky.

Ha ha, I would lighten the image, assuming you have LR, and put a grad tool across the reed sections - just my thoughts - feel free to ignore - Im a complete amateur - I think it has loads of potential

Thanks HH.
I don't have LR and I'm afraid I'm not an expert on my software's functions. A lot to learn yet myself!
