    I didn't know this was there! I'll shoot this some more.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Mark.

    Yes,

    Print it. Excellent

    Roger.
    PS how about getting someone to sit on the bench on his own?

    a wonderful shot, I never thought a picnic table could look forlorn, but here you are! the lighting is exceptional.

    My only suggestion would be to see if you can photograph this scene with a person or persons eating at the table.
    As it is, it is an interesting photograph, but with the added element of a person or persons there, it would make even more interesting.

    any chance of taking a photograph without the bars in the foreground, i find them a little distracting (although i know you're trying to portray the whole closed look)...just feel it could be worth trying as well.

    don't get me wrong though, the photo works well, great capture.

    cheers

    anew, thanks for commenting, Yes I will be able to shoot this without the bars, and am looking forward to it. I only took a few pics of this while I was there and was concentrating on making the bars part of the image. I did think about putting the lens through them but would have had to fool around with the tripod more than I wanted to. Next time!

    Very nice! The bars don't bother me at all, if anything I think they add to this shot for me.

    I love the feeling and the idea behind this. But I think that car sorta puts me off a bit cause I'm thinking underground/bunker sorta thing. And the car brings me back to the surface in a hurry. :)

    Hi Mark,
    I'm not on this board much (not much time). But, I just wanted to tell you that this is a great shot. No critique (sorry). But, I do like looking at it.
    Cheers,

    Leels, I dont like the car either. I may try blowing it out bright white later. this tunnel goes through the mound at the end of a bridge over the river.

    Tim, good to know that you like it. I hope that you and the family are having a great time.
    Thank you both,
    Mark.

    Mark, congrats on the well deserved sticky. i like the image as it is, and the bars in the fg are abig part of it. If you do go back for more shots, try this same shot from the other end and see if perhaps being closer to the bench adds some more dynamic. Great sighting
