Glastonbury Tor...

[ColytonJohn]

I posted the colour version of this a while ago and then Stan (I think it was, it probably was ) rightly commented on my lack of attention to detail while processing the converging verticals. So here, in the mono conversion I always thought it needed, they have been attended to. I hope you agree:

Re: Glastonbury Tor...

You've processed it very well John but for me the stairs are leading my eye away from the Tor so I'm looking left and right and cannot settle

I can kinda see Alans point but for me it still works and looks good

Re: Glastonbury Tor...

I like it too....I think some shots benefit from leading your eye around a bit....but its a good point regarding leading away from the main subject....and out of the frame in this case. I like it too....a nice classic Tor shot.

Re: Glastonbury Tor...

Thanks folks I can see the point being made and agree with it. The steps had such great texture I wanted to capture them along with the tower for placement so such a shame I wasn't tall enough to see 'over the lip' - yet another argument for a selfie stick

Re: Glastonbury Tor...

composition does work but the steps do appear to lead you out of the frame although a the top they do turn towards the Tor. Perhaps with a little more of the scene to the left in the frame you would have a more definite lead to the Tor

Re: Glastonbury Tor...

Thanks Stan

Quite correct the steps do turn right at the top but it's not very clear. It was cropped quite tight in the original so here's a stretched canvas (both sides for balance) version of it:

Re: Glastonbury Tor...

John, that's a great call on adding some canvas, and that tiny change makes a great difference. Very very nice image.
