Question on two prints

[gahspidy]

Both of these are very good. I like the composition of both. The white blurred area should stay but perhaps darken it some with ps to make it just less distracting. The shot with the post, the bg post should be cloned out. . just the top. The rest of the bg is blurred nicely in my opinion. . and the colors in this image are beautiful. I also feel that it seems just a bit flat and upping the levels slightly would help bring a bit of vibrancy

Thanks everyone for your replies. As we all agree the fence post picture needed a little rework so I did re-shoot it.

Steph, I did recheck both images for sharpness and the fence post was a little soft. Thanks for the heads up.

Rachel,
The first image is an old car I stumbled upon while walking through the woods. It is part of the steering wheel. The image said something to me about the beauty in ageing.

Thanks everyone for your kind words your input is helpful.

Regards

Phil
