    Love the....... Sharpness here.#2 is my pick I think the sky looks great also. Forgive me I am a little tired. The words are not forming too well in my head.

    How can I be lost
    If I've got nowhere to go?

    Nice work, Seb. The second composition is stronger of the two, I feel. The lighting and exposure is just right. The tones in the sky add alot as well.Also, the wires included in the second shot add something. . .perhaps that the subject touches all four sides of the frame.

    I like #2 as well. I find the mast pipe and wires more interesting than the gutter. I feel the sky works better too. Well done.

    Agreed, number two, excellent exposure and lighting across the whole image, excellent results from your experimentation!

    I really like the exposure and the geometrics of the shots. They may lack a punchline of sorts, but they're pretty neat as is. I wish there was a 1/3 moon up there in a corner, or some smoke coming out of a chimney. Maybe do a photo edit and put a Santa up there?

    Thanks everyone.

    I agree that the second one has more going on visually but I meant these to go together. I wouldn't feel good about presenting either of these alone.

    regards

    Seb,

    Nice exposure and everyone else has said most of what I was going to say.

    However, I feel it needs something more possibly in line with the tryptych style you've presented recently. How about a look down from the roof onto the tree style shot that goes between the two. Not sure if that is possible?
