Critique Thread No 3

It's time I handed this off to whoever would like to initiate the fourth thread.

My take on this image:

Being my own worst critic, I had no inkling as to the sort of C&C this image would actually generate. I was probably expecting fewer of the positive comments!

My intention was to submit an image that was free of glaringly obvious (to me) technical defects - they were threshold issues, and I didn't wish to waste the time of forum contributors with that level of C&C.

My personal preference was the version of this image that I posted as part of the goldfields series - similar, but much more 'foggy-looking' to capitalise on what nature had to offer that morning.

I also saw the shadowed window and door, and a lack of balance with little space to the LHS of the frame. There were indeed some constraints to that LHS - hence that shot.

Thank you to those that contributed ideas, and also to those that offered an image showing their perspective on the base shot.

May I say that a large part of getting the original C&C image to the forum in that state, was thanks to what I see and read right here.

Thanks again, who's next?
