Gheluvelt Park Again

Went back to where I shot this night shot, to take some more pictures for my company, who designed the memorial and the park landscaping. K7, SMC135mm f2.5 and DA15mm. C&C as straight to the point as your like.

I like the last three very much indeed but find the houses in the first one distracting although I can understand why might have had them in shot.

Would you consider removing the black blob at 5 o'clock to the alium head?

Well spotted Ken, I shall clone that black spot out, it's doing nothing for the shot.

Agree the humdrum houses and background clutter aren't helping much in the first shot as well. I think I only included it to give context to the others. Thanks for commenting, appreciate it.

The last one gets my vote

Great colour rendition on the rust areas in particular, I agree that composition in 1 isnt quite right- difficult to see the problem being solved- i know the place (not far from where I live) and it is near to a main road and other Victorian houses so a wide shot with no such distractions maybe out of the question. The close ups have a really warm quality to them. I think4 is a good idea- I'd like to see a bit more of the left side of the bench though. I actually like number 2 best, that may say more about me than the photo though- simpler the better.

May I add that the park is a much better place than it used to be, so good job done by your company.
