Any critiques will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Feels like two photos.
-
Do you mean because of the foreground and background?
Perhaps I over-manipulated and just can't pull out the foreground naturally enough.
Thanks for your feedback.

To me, it's just too busy. I prefer simplicity, especially with B&W.

I look at the foreground and then I look at the background. They really do not flow as is.

You folks have summed up what I was thinking very nicely. There's potential there, but I just found it to be too much.

Sort of reminds me of the mythological character that got caught by the hair in a bush; can't remember the name, but as you will have spotted, it shares my perennial need for the human figure to figure. Yes, that is a pretty poor play on words, but I'm about to leave the keyboard and make a cuppa java, so perhaps I'm forgiven?

It helps if you can have an element that links the foreground to the background, leading the eye...
I think that cropping off the lower quarter of the picture would help.

I like the convoluted trees and the hazy light. I don't care for the spikey plants in the lower part of the shot. Perhaps you can go back there with a shovel and rip them out? ;)

I think you doubled up your meds again, Rob.

The wise photographer always carries a chainsaw. Perhaps a shovel would be a good addition.

Mr P
That's the problem: I put them all out the night before into two stainless steel egg cups, one named 1 and the other 2. (Fitting, no?) So far so good, but then I forget, come breakfast, exactly where within the cycle I find myself. Maths was never my strong point.
Regarding those photographic accessories you mentioned, would certainly look good as well as being quite useful for anyone doing 'street' work, though you might find unexpected lack of understanding from the fuzz. But at least you can claim that you are not, in fact, using a tripod without permission.

I think a machete would weigh less than a chain saw and make less noise, but no be any more appreciated by the fuzz.
When I was Service Manager for an Agricultural electronics company, we sometimes carried a sledge hammer and a pick axe (for access to cables under concrete)... when the farm boys asked what they were for I always said "final adjustments".

Secateurs, that fit neatly in your back pocket, are a landscape photographer's best friend.

Not if you sit down quickly!

thanks.

No problem; one of the better reasons for wearing a skirt!
