    Re: Graceland Gazeebo

    Its pretty good, I like it. It looks almost like an IR film process. Good comp. nice tones and light. Great that the tree sorta frames the gazebo and that nothing is in front of or sticking out behind it. The sky is a good wintry dark which helps set off the subjects.

    Only suggestion would be to do a slight perspective correction. the two side columns of the gazebo are tilting inward from perspective/lens distortion and a slight adjustment would do the trick

    Nice one

    I like the composition in this. The tree and the gazebo interact pretty nicely in this. I also like your b&w tones. The harsh shadow of the tree, I think adds to this as it helps the tree frame the gazebo even more. nice one.

    Strong geometry, good placement of the gazebo in the frame, and the black and white works. The footprints also work, though they're not very prevalent. The only thing that bothers me about this image is the background stuff, which to me clutters it up. It would be stronger if it were clear back there, but .. What can you do!

    Congrats on your sticky, BTW
