Re: Sheepstor Church

This could be off by a mile (I'm still a novice), but how about making it a landscape photo and cropping it on the top where the montains touch the sky and in the bottom just below the base of the left tree?

It may be my monitor but I find that photo is a bit askewed to the right.

Cheers for the responses. Nat I think it's your monitor!!! Only joking, I think it's pretty true going by the verticality of the church, the hedge does run downhill to the right though.

Vdzane, I happen to have shot it in landscape too! Both partial crops of the original shown below, one staying 3:2 the other a freehand rectangle. Are they better? I must admit after I uploaded it the portrait posted seemed to have a lot more "sky".

Re: Sheepstor Church

I actually preferred the first crop. i find the foreground quite interesting and leading into the rest of the photo (even though there are no distinguishable leading lines)...and the two trees on the side kinda provide a nice frame to the photo. i probably would have chopped off much of the sky to place the castle in the upper third of the image

Re: Sheepstor Church

feel free to ignore.. I know nothing.. what about taking something off the left, putting the church steeple on the vertical third, so the eye leads from the left and finishes on the right on the trees with the light on the green moss.

Either way I like the depth of looking past the tree line to the church.
