  • phillip wise

    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

    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.
