#1 The sharp focus should be on the canon, not the trees. If you had shot this with a wide-angle lens, it would've had a lot more impact.
#2 The front canon is blocking our view of the others. A higher viewpoint would've allowed a clear view of them all, + perhaps rotate the camera, trying various compositions to find the best one.
#3 I like this a lot. It contains an optical illusion that seems to stretch the RHS edge so that it appears taller than the LHS edge  This effect is kewl + exhibits a powerful demonstration of perspective + depth 
The contrast is rather flat in the first two, but the third is much better.
All in all, well done on your first attempt! |
Thank you Charlotte
The thought behind 1 was from the gunners point of view looking at the woods waiting for confederate troops to come into view
The 2nd well I what can I say other than I agree.
But again thanks for the input I have a lot to learn
