Love the soft colours in the sky Jack. I would maybe have tilted the camera up a little to remove some of the blank space at the bottom of the frame and included more of the silhouetted tree tops.

Sarah has summed it up well, but how about a crop to de-centralize the people? Using an envelope on my laptop, cropping the bottom by about 50% and the LHS or RHS to the trees nearest the people looked OK.

I'll go along with losing space at the bottom, but I want to keep the people in the middle

How about this:

Thats a better crop Jack, it puts the top of the grass on a third, which is usually pleasing to the eye. Have to say, I like the lead in to the middle with the people, it works here.

I still think the people are too central here. The tree on the left is very dark and has a lot less detail so I would crop that area off along with the bottom edge. That gives a more consistent lighting along the sky. It's a shame there is not just a touch more separation between the head of the lady and the tree beyond as she is rather lost alongside the man who is completely silhouetted cleanly.

I was going to just crop this for a pimp but people can all see what a crop would be like just by moving the window off to the side so I thought I'd go the whole hog and show you an alternative. I took the woman out completely so we just have the man and his dog walking away from us through the gap. It's not perfect if you go in close but I think it gives you the idea of what I mean :o)

See what you think anyway Jack.

Happy new year,
Rob
