Posted: Fri Jun 03, 2005 4:52 amNo, there is not enough sky and too much dark on the left hand side IMO. Even a little too much off the bottom as well.
Great picture otherwise. SMooth colours and great shape.

Posted: Fri Jun 03, 2005 7:48 amYeah, a really nice shot. But it looks like the whole silhouette is photoshoped, because it is so smooth, and the lines are sharp.
But i think it looks great.

Posted: Fri Jun 03, 2005 11:48 amLike the silhouette but agreed that the left is a bit too bold in terms of too much rock. Would look great as a pano crop

Nope. That's an excellent image, IMO, just the way it is. Very well done, Ben.
duh!! forgot to remove the image link!
Fixed. Sorry about that... 
Posted: Fri Jun 03, 2005 3:06 pmAnother great shot Ben. I wonder what it would look like with a LOT more sky around the structure?

It's a beautiful image but it's missing some element. I think a human figure in there somewhere would have lifted the interest a great deal. It's 90% there but by taking it one creative step futher you could have made it 110%. I made a similar comment to a forum member who posted a brilliant sunset. Sunsets are not uncommon subjects...but to expoloit them by adding...a person, animal, object, flower...or something else...lifts them above what we normally expect to see. Most of these situations make fabulous backgrounds for something else. I hope you get the drift of what I am suggesting. I am not being critical but speaking from some experiance. Thanks for posting a different type of image.

Posted: Sun Jun 05, 2005 10:04 pmThank you all for your suggestions. I might take Stubbsy along next time as he lives close by and stick him on the rock for some 'human element'.
