That's a real beauty - great view, lovely light and of course the mist! The only thing for me that I would have changed would be the composition, to move the upright stone more into the frame, so it is on the intersection of thirds in the bottom left. I'm not suggesting this version should be changed, really just wondering whether you have an original that is framed slightly differently?

Agree, it's a beauty.

I'm not sure about moving the post more into shot. Might it become a bit too dominant? If anything I wonder if it would be better off without it. My eye hops between the spire and the post, meaning the birds don't get the attention they deserve!

That's why photography is great - we all see things differently! All opinions are valid and we will never all agree. I think it's important that we do give constructive feedback without being nasty or offensive, this is how I learned to improve. I do find that there is not enough feedback on Gallery images, but maybe some would think that I give too much?

I had thought about cropping the post out, but I can't work out if I prefer it or not!

Love everything about this from the post to the pheasants to the spire the mist and the hills beyond

The post is saying 'This is my view and it changes in the blink of a morning to an afternoon to an evening. Do you like it as much as I do?' to the guy who's looking over it's shoulder, who happens to be me at this moment in time Pictures should tell stories too and not just be about rules. Who made these rules anyway? We'd end up with a boring load of similarities. March on Andrew and take instinctive shots alongside the experimentations. You've done pretty damn fine so far.
