What do you think of this photo? Is it interesting to you? I've been looking at it too long and lost some perspective, if you know what I mean.

I think I would find it more interesting if it were wider and a little more exposed.

Agreed. Bump the exposure a tad....and I think it'll do wonders.

This is one photo you can have too much fun with;) Bright levels blow the sky out and lend to a severe shot...

Heavy contrast gives great shadows.....

Gald you had fun with it Flo, I like your second version best.

I'm trying to bring more line and texture into my shots, but I think this one is just a bit bland.

Thanks for the CC everyone.

I really like the simplicity of it and I wish someone with better vision would have a go at it.

Anyway, here's my stab.

it does need some touch ups tho, such as a crop and curves adjustment.

this one has to much negitive space at the top and the bottom, cut them out and it would be a great shot.

these are quite nice, a bit dark I had really push myself to see any details.

like the first one, to much negative space at the bottom.
