Normanton Church

Hey there

Took this shot a couple of weekends ago, finally got around to cloning out the dust spots and playing a bit with it.

Let me know what you think

I really like the comp of the picture and white against all the other colors.

I think you need to work on the title. In my browser, I didn't at first see the flower. So I'm thinking, when does the image fully download and clear up? Of course it didn't because this is really a picture of a flower with some kind of blurry off-level building in the background. It drew my attention from the flower, but had no real interest of its own.

I see what you're saying, but surely you must have scrolled down and looked at the whole shot before you dismissed it?

Also realised i uploaded the un-straightened one, have edited the original picture accordingly. Thanks for pointing it out!!

Any ideas for a title, I always try to think of witty ones, but couldn't think of anything for this one

Doesn't work for me. The two subjects are both centred horizontally, which is rarely a good choice. Put each in a third from different sides and you'd instantly have a noticable improvement. Still, the flower's just not interesting enough to pull the whole thing off. Petals don't present a lot of texture. Cheers, Tony

Thanks, one day i'll put a picture up you like

C+ I guess, try a bit harder, I did think about the composition when i got home, would have prefered the daisy to the left, so it was leaning more into the shot, and then the church on the right.

Will keep experimenting though!!

Thanks Tony, I was only jesting, i love your constructive criticism, you give clear points on how to improve and I like to think I have.

Glad you liked the shot in the other thread
