think this is the best of several shots I took on a visit to the Angel

It's a great shot Mick, although I think it might be better if what I think is a fence in the lower part of the picture were either cloned out or cropped off....I think they distract from the rest of your image.

Think there's a little too much black

Hope you don't mind:


Crop, Shadows/Highlight to pull detail out of dark, touch Saturation

[JMitchell]

Good shot, but like said, either use mark's suggestion, or crop all the way to near the base of the feet on the original. Interesting crop, it would be. EDIT: Yoda, unfortunately, I am not...

ok had a little play is this better??

Looking good!

I like the crop, but would have also shaved a bit from the RHS - to around where the 'o' is in your name.

[fionaB]

i like this a lot, and i do agree the crop certainly improves it. I kinda like the space on the RHS tho, guess its a personal taste thing.

I like the photo and especially with the crop but....I have seen the Angel many times and my only critiques is that the shot doesn't portray the size of the thing. I get the feeling it's a silhouette of an ordinary person holding a surfboard or something.

Please don't take that remiss I still think it's a very good shot

PS - I shouldn't have said all that - I thought I was in Photo Critique

That being the case I may be making a boo-boo too .
I too like this shot but it stuck me also,even though I have only seen the 'Angel' it in the passing,that it might benefit from having something [a lone figure looking up?] to emphasise the scale/size.I am guessing, nightfly56, that you reckoned the tree left would provide this scale.

[chickadee]

i personally like the cropped version ,but agree with Water , that you need something other then tree to magnify the size.however top shot

[nightfly56]

to be honest at the time I took this photo I never really thought about the scale of the thing it was just one of those point and shoot moments, plus the fact it was freezing cold and the people I was with were rushing me to get back in the car, still liked it when i loaded it onto the PC.
thanks for all the feedback I do find myself thinking before snapping now

Much improved. I like the crop. I still like it, it gives a different view. This is all a bit heavy for "sharing" isn't it?
