35 Dec 19 Reply Thank you Mark Dec 23rd
35 Dec 19 Reply Thank you Debbie for the explanation and history of why the fence is there. It is very interesting. Because we didn't know this I think we tend to look at images in a more pictorial way. It's good to get the history and perhaps we see things in a different light. Still a beautiful image though.

35 Dec 19 Comment This is a very striking image Julie with great tonal range and superb quality. Do like he wall lead in to the imposing building. Nice that your viewpoint has shown some of the landscape in the distance. A fantastic shot and the only thing I would say is it would help to balance off the sky as perhaps the white clouds on the right could do with slightly less exposure. Superb!! Dec 12th
35 Dec 19 Comment 4,000 years old. What stories they could tell. I do like the shape of the tree and the way you have brought out the texture but I feel its effect is a little lost being in front of the
shrubbery behind it as they are both of a similar tone. If it was at all possible to have taken it on its own I feel it would have been a much more dramatic image, but that's not always possible and I'm sure it wasn't in this case. In fact I do like your original 1 better as the dead tree seems to be more prominent against the warmer tones. It is an excellent image and I'm sure if you could subdue the bush behind somehow it would make a stronger and more dramatic image.

35 Dec 19 Comment A very dramatic scene born out of sadness and destruction. The sky is very stormy and angry as though in sympathy with the destructive sight below. Pictorially it is a great composition with everything thrusting upwards making a strong composition, but I almost feel guilty saying why it is such a good image, when I know the background history. Shame on the city not taking away all the debris leaving an old man destitute Dec 11th
35 Dec 19 Comment Beautiful trees guarding the dilapidated building. Why do dilapidated buildings attract photographers I wonder. they are so photogenic especially in this case. The trees seem to lean into the space of the building as protection. What would the image look like cropped just above the fence as it does not lend anything to the scene. The building and trees would jump forward and be so much more prominent. Dec 11th
35 Dec 19 Comment A fascinating and interesting subject matter. I do like the way they run in a diagonal line and all pin sharp. I agree with Julie, maybe the background being a bit more OOF would have helped but then again it could be difficult as you might have lost some sharpness in the third item, but as she says maybe a bit more burning in of the background would help get rid of distractions and concentrate on these three. I do like the metallic effect you've given them but at the same time I quite like the sepia effect original. Two for one!! Dec 11th
35 Dec 19 Comment Ahh Stuart. This is indeed a beautiful image so gentle and subtle and to do it with CLIR. The sky is beautiful Great. I can understand only too well your frustrations, as you know, but it has been well worth the effort it in this case. Keep it up. I really can't make any criticms . This is your best to date.
