Don't mention the border!

Just sharing a picture I took this Sunday whilst out walking.

If I had taken it earlier it could have been entered in a competition and got more votes than my other effort.........or could it!

So pleased it is not just me taking stick about borders !?!

You could crop it slightly - you know a few centimetres from the top, bottom, left and right ...

Potential for a great shot - nice one !

Seriously though - it could probably do with a slice off the bottom ? Imho.

I like this image, but feel if the twiggy stuff is removed from the top of the scene the foreground becomes so very much stronger

I think the image would have been greatly improved if the border completely covered the the shot



Haha, Jk Steve

Got to agree with Marianne - think it might look better with just the foreground. Perhaps a crop? (wot do I know anyway)
