Robin Hood Prince of Thieves' Sycamore Tree - Hadrian's Wall
Went for a walk along Hadrian's Wall near Twice Brewed in Northumberland.
Took loads of pictures but I think this was the best - it was the tree used in the film Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. Quite happy with this shot   click for a bigger version on my flickr page. |

Re: Robin Hood Prince of Thieves' Sycamore Tree - Hadrian's Wall
It's great! I particularly like (after studying it for a while) the curvature.
If I was going to pick? and I am! I don't care for the sky too much. I would like to see less saturation and a bit more menace. Don't hurt me! |

Re: Robin Hood Prince of Thieves' Sycamore Tree - Hadrian's Wall
in a way i agree with soup BUt only had it been a mono shot. i think it works really well as it is and like soup i also love the curvature. I would love to see it in mono with as soup suggests a more dramatic sky........... great work tho a cracking image!

Re: Robin Hood Prince of Thieves' Sycamore Tree - Hadrian's Wall
yep i do....... although i wouldnt say it better or worse than the colour.what it is now is an entirely different image!
much more atmospheric and i think in keeping with the starkness of the original shot. mind u i could be talking total nonsense but thats definately how i see it  Fi |

Re: Robin Hood Prince of Thieves' Sycamore Tree - Hadrian's Wall
Just looked at the TV listings and Robin Hood Prince of Thieves is on BBC1 at 7pm tonight, what a coincidence!

Re: Robin Hood Prince of Thieves' Sycamore Tree - Hadrian's Wall
Having not seen Robin Hood on TV, the picture doesn't mean much to me but as an image it is quirky and fun, I like it. I also like the mono that Fi did, entirely different image but powerful.
Good work, Rob |

Re: Robin Hood Prince of Thieves' Sycamore Tree - Hadrian's Wall
Is the curvature actual geography or is that an effect from a wide angle lens? Either way great shot. And I do like the added drama of the mono version.
