Photo - Stacking?

Waiting for that rainy day?
At the back of one of our village Churches.

C&C Please.

It's a little over-exposed, and lacking in contrast. I should tackle that first. (However, I would mention that I am viewing this on a poor laptop screen; it might look rather different on yours.)

I would also crop the top and left hand edges, leaving just the tiles.

These two steps will (IMO) give you a stronger image with more impact.

It's fun to play with images like this, and this one is certainly not without possibilities. Seeing such possibilities in a mundane object like a pile of tiles is a large part of the art of photography.

Thanks, George.

You're right. Cropped is better, all the content now seems to have more relevance to the whole image.

Have adjusted the exposure but didn't like an increase in contrast.

Yes I think the tighter crop works much better. I would go for a bit more contrast and saturation.

Of course I like this! It's very much my sort of thing, cursed as I am, by seeing pictures in the least likely places.

I like the great range of hues and the bits of lichen, the spider's web...I think trimming the top works well, better, but I'd have left the wall because it gives the tiles something upon which to lean.

Nice work.

Andrew,

I thought you might...!?

I can't remember whose it is but someone has the by-line (& I am probably mis-quoting):

No amount of equipment can take the place of an ability to notice.

I hope I / we all can continue to develope that skill, surely a major contributory factor in any "good" image.

Thanks to you all for your kind encouragement.

Best Regards,

Roger.

Roger, I've taken a different approach and slightly decreased the contrast and sat, and had a play with the curves while I was at it amongst other things.

Happy to post, it's on Photobucket for now.

Please post, i-Berg.
Thanks,
Roger

FWIW, here we go Roger...

Just one personal interpretation, mind.

Thanks, i-Berg.

I find these re-workings of images fascinating, inasmuch as the original scene is still in one's mind, the image taken underlines that memory... but then a different view/interpretation is presented & I find it quite strange, even a little disconserting; was the original scene really as I remember/remembered it?

This is ,in no way, meant to decry your image & I thank you for it.

Best Regards,

Roger.

Yep if photography just presented the image exactly as seen, what a boring thing it would be.
