    Angel in the Architecture

    What do you think about the tree limbs? I did clone a couple.

    Nice capture. Maybe the trees do get in the way, but I don't know if you suggestion prompted my reaction. Maybe just a tighter crop on the window? Or do you need the sky for a compliment to the angel?

    Greg, yeah man. this shot, imo, would've looked superb! if the top portion was minimal (sky only). it would've been a nice 'graphichy' type of shot which i love. i think you can still remove the trees, leaving the nice soft skies contrasting with this structure and the exclamation point being the angel. it's still a very nice image. these types of shots appeal to me :-) well done.

    Sorry, Paul Simon moment.

    Like this shot but wonder if it might be better cropped in a bit tighter on the dormer and window. Hrm...

    Brilliant title and a good photograph as well. The tidyness of the curtains creates a nice shape for the angel to strut his/her stuff. There is nice geometry to the roof and surrounds and you have picked out a good scene Greg. I have no problem with the bushes.

    Re: Angel in the Architecture

    Thanks all. I may try and clone the trees at some point. I have been doing less and less processing these days.

    Good pic, I think if it had been on a better day where the clouds in the background were more puffy and full. I think a dramatic sky would make the picture better.

    Maybe you could have lightened the shadows.

    Thanks Naz, Thanks Don. I agree I think the shadows needs to be brought up some.
