Another Try

[Flyinggina]

Is this any more interesting than my first try? Too abstract? Could it use cropping? Any thoughts?

Thanks for looking.

It's a nice sillhouette, I like the crisp lines, but it doesn't really grab me in any way.

Thanks, Chris. I think that was what was wrong with the first photo I posted. Boring. :rolleyes I actually rather like it, but then I like abstracts - especially when nature provides them.

I like the photo and the composition you used.

It's a tree...trees are common....they are everywhere. A silouette of a tree without some meaning/purpose/theme is simply a tree which fails to give the viewer a sense of wanting to return to the photograph. Possibly a tree with a nice composition against an interesting sky would be the ticket. Help us as viewers identify with something interesting versus commonplace. It's kind of like a picture of a car...you see them all day, everyday....what would make this tree special? Just some food for thought.

I really like that, fantastic exposure and contrast, i think it's a top tenner! :thumb
Looks like you enjoyed another fantastic trip in Paris BTW, well done, I'm going back to visit in 5 weeks!

Cheers

What about tilting the picture so the lines are diagonal? My eye keeps going down and off the bottom edge. Just a thought...
