Of the two I prefer this image…a sense of depth is enhanced by the row of posts as well the smoothness adds to the overall dreamlike quality. Very nice work imo.
Richard, i am not sure it is perfect! Having looked at it for a while, i wished i had give more space to the left of the posts….. but the comments are much appreciated!
Berndt, I was trying to make the most of the horizontal banding in the image, which was the reason i used the effect shown. Intially thought i was heavy handed!
doe’s your old man need to comment? well lets start with the very heavy vignetting do we need it? lets compear it to a striptease dancer if she/he came on with no clothes on it wouldn’t be half as good so here we have a sort of unveiling a tease of more to come, As a young black and white photographer I was told to half close my eyes to see where the tones fell and to see where the light fell so this is a sort of a squint concentrating of view of the central part of the image, I’m not going to tell you if I like it or not that’s not the point of this comment, it’s do you like it enough to commit it to paper.

very cool shot – the horizontal vignetting and the effect of the mist/cloud/fog/water works really well in this!
