    Cherry Hill Farmstead

    I took these pictures in Cherry Hill NJ while on vacation. I like to shoot in black and white.

    I like the first one. Maybe you could have moved just a bit to the right to get separation between the outhouse (shed???) and the cabin. - TF

    I agree with moving to the right, I would consider moving backwards slightly to give a little more room around the edge of the photo, it feels a little cramped. I would clone out hat looks like a stern of a boat between the two trees on the right of the photo.

    On #2 I would have moved forward to have less bridge so that the house is between the two trees at the end of the bridge - I expect ypu'd be three quarters of the way down the bridge in the photo to achieve that view.

    I like the tonaility in the photos, perhaps a touch more contrast to bring out a bit more black to make them pop a bit more.

    Looks like a great place to shoot, esp B&W.

    I think the little hut is a bit cramped on the top shot. I would have given it a little more space. There's a lot of empty space in the foreground that seems out of place there, too. Not sure what you could have done about it though - maybe wait for the barking dog to come out? ha ha. The bottom shot is OK too, very symmetric.
