Patrick: Your post reminded me of a conversation that I happened to overhear between a mother and her young daughter when I was visiting the ruined and roofless remains of Glastonbury Abbey in the Fall of 2006. The little girl looked up through the ruins to the open sky and very earnestly said the following: "Did the monks get wet when it rained? Is that why they left? They really should have fixed that roof and then they might have stayed." It was at once so unexpected, so amusing and so touching that I have never forgotten it! Ah, the concrete wisdom of a child!

If this one was cropped a bit below the grass in the gateway, i think it adds a lot more to it and has a pleasing 5 x 4 ratio to print from too. Nick also always pays a lot of attention to his skies for a nice finishing touch to whatever his subject is. Edited by: Paul Hilton at:9th July 2010 01:30 |

If it is cropped at the bottom of the grass, the feeling changes and I'm already standing at the gate and the "distance" created in the picture lessens. Keeping the darker foreground also works with the darker sky at the top increasing the perspective and leading the eye into the distance to the lighter horizon. Just my personal opinion. |
