phillip wise
just had another look at it after commenting on it a few months ago and its a interesting pic that tells a story..what u may like to try next time you get a shot like this is 1stly do it in b and w to make it a simple and give it a bit more feel to it and 2ndly..maybe try puting the cross on the left hand corner apparently they think we look at pics from left to right and a lot of the times it does applie and i think it would in this case….it,s just my thoughts and each to their own !
GailD replied
I do have a B&W version of this. I’ll have to have another look at that. I have heard of the left to right thingy. I hadn’t thought of that in this case. I might just flip the image & have a look. Thanks Phillip.
Paul Wilkin
I do like this shot, the sky colours and the silhouette of the cross are striking. Does it look better flipped?
GailD replied
I’m not sure that it does. Maybe I’m just so used of seeing it like this. Thanks Paul.
