    Dry Stone Wall 2

    How do you feel about this one and do you feel the vertical works.
    Many thanks

    What really strikes me about this is the fact that the shape of the wall darned near follows the contour of the shoreline. I think you could probably crop off a bit of the bottom, but it works anyway.

    I like how the shape of the wall the land and the cloud work together - could be rude about the cloud...

    I really like the face in the cloud looking down on the land.

    I like this one much better. The wall as foreground instead of background works to make it all come together. Great composition!
    Keep Shooting!

    I think this is another well done landscape. I wouldn't mind seeing just a little more of the mountain range. But a great picture as is.

    Another beauty Tom!

    I really like your use of the wall for framing the view. The portrait framing appeals to me a good deal. How else could you fit it all in? An irresistible shot when you were there I'll bet. Great texture in the wall, a beautiful view beyond, a clear yet interesting sky. Just gorgeous. What more gift could one ask for except to be there in person? BTW, The shape in the cloud, a unicorn or possibly a lamb.

    Tom, I think this is a clever composition. The placement of the perfect cloud for this shot is right where it needed to be. the rock wall and cloud seem to be aware of eachothers presence . . .
    I agree with Greg that seeing a little more land from a slightly higher camera angle would have been nice, but I think you have a strong shot here as it is.

    Hi Tom,
    A very good capture! The cloud is a mirror image of the wall! Good eye!

    Re: Dry Stone Wall 2

    A great big thank you to you all.
    It's particularily pleasing when the comments from everyone are practically similar to my thinking on this one.
