A good image Kris. I like the framing and the inclusion of a human to provide scale.

Good one Kris. Like the child too, and it's great that it was windy enough to show the flag. Might have preferred a better sky but hey you can't win them all

Amazing sharpness and clarity, Kris. The cold light of winter.
If I was being picky, I'd want your (important) scale figrue further into the shot, between the two benches. But I wouldn't have done it either!
Best wishes,
Andrew

You mean like this one?
I haven't fixed the verticals in this one yet. I preferred the flag in the first one.

I am beginning to think I prefer the second one because of the position of the young lad and the fact I didn't crop off the bottom of the benches. Apart from the slight converging verticals which I haven't corrected in the second shot, which do you all prefer?

I actually prefer the first Kris, as the figure snugly sits in between the benches - it blends well with the scenery - I find it more pleasing on the eye. On the second the positioning is a bit more stark.
I'm probably on my own with that opinion!

I must admit I prefer the way the head is clearly defined in the first shot rather than the second one!

Not quite - I think I prefer the first. Both are very nice shots! but somehow I prefer the 'shape' of the figure in the first one; not so worried about his/her placement. Wish I could put my finger on why I prefer the first in more detail though...

Well, you kniow where I stand on this one, Kris. Trust me on this!
The second one just has more balance and shape: the benches form a really pleasing bookend on the right, the eye is naturally drawn to the figure as he/she moves into the wide snowy (formerly redundant) space. Oh no, it may be a decisive moment!
I know it's only a small thing but...well, look again at my first comment here. It was obvious, I thought.
And (leading question coming up...) why did you take the second shot in the first place?
Thought so!

Andrew

Hi Kris
For me personally I prefer the second one as it has the effect of showing increased scale. As you say it will proboably benefit from a little tweaking of the vertical.
The last one however, 'To the Memory' is an absolute fabulous shot. Could this also be straightened a little to make it even better?
Superd

Paul
