Lovely, SirD!

And Cem, I want to go to that place.

Thank you friends... I would really like to get a proper digital camera and get back into photography. There are some amazing vistas and small spaces around here, the likes of which would have warmed Tolkien's heart I think.

Here's a few more, followed by a question

Fangorn at the Deeping Wall?
(This is actually a 360'x60'x27' 1830s stone arch dam on the Rideau Canal: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jones_Falls_Dam)

Of the similar images in this post, which composition do you find more pleasing?

Wed May 15, 2013 1:14 am

I prefer the one on the left. It is more balanced.

Thanks V... yes, I agree. The rocks seem to intrude overmuch in the one on the right.

My professional opinion

would be the one on the right. The leading lines are slightly stronger, plus you've got the rule of thirds working for you in that one over the other.

I also prefer the one on the right. It seems to give more of a sense of the space.

I like this one because when you look at it on its side (left-side-up), it looks like there's a fossil of an insect on top, and a primitive design for a spaceship on the bottom.

Wow, I would not have noticed that, until you said something!

That's not what I see (cue Lali). Wait, yes, yes I see what you mean.

[ETA]: I also see something that looks like a totem or fertility icon on its side in the right third (or bottom third if Jude's logic is applied). Such a fascinating landscape and reflection.[/ETA]

Nice album Sir V. I like the one below. Though the colours are muted, it has the flavour of an impressionist landscape.

I like that one a lot too, Sir D. The Black Buttes.

And this is for SirD:

for Lali, because she's just so darned cute!

A couple of pics from our recent trip to Bali.

Hope they're not too big!

No, they're just right. They are beautiful!
