Foggy Morning Woodlands

[THELONGMAN]

Sunday morning in thick for at the Devils Punch Bowl

Very atmospheric, but I wonder if a crop where the main path starts to take out the left hand trees would give a strong lead-in line?

Great exposure to keep the misty look but retain detail and atmosphere. I agree with Paul on the crop. Not only makes the lead in line stronger but brings the gate out a bit more. Although I agree in retrospect with Paul's suggestion, I have to admit I would not have thought about it if he hadn't mentioned it. Another technique to store in the brain box.

Cracking atmospheric shot. Is there a Sussex version, or is that the Exmoor DPB?

[Denis]

Oooh...thats good

I like it 'as is'

Me too - quite mystical as it is. Nice!!

Hi Chris, Thanks for your feedback.This is in Sussex, on the A3, in fact up until a couple of years ago the A3 London to Portsmouth road went through it, and now there is a tunnel underneath it, This picture is the origenal road which was a nightmare as at this point the duel carriage way became a single road through Hindhead and it was nothing to sit for up to 20-30 minuets getting through. Now the National Trust are reinstating it to its formal natural beauty.

Cheers Dennis, Thanks for your feedback. This is the cropped version which I am not convinced it has done anything for it, Thanks again, much appreciated,

Very atmospheric, original as is for me.

[John]

Im going to jump on the keep it as original band wagon here, like it a lot, nice and spooky.

[fuzzyedges]

Was the suggested crop  not the left hand trees

Depends where the main path starts I suppose Top or bottom

I think the left hand side leaving the upright dark tree to give, as suggested, a better lead in

But I may also have read the suggestion wrong

[nidhish]

i just love the gloomy atmosphere on this pic .  thanks for sharing such a great click .

Love the eerie look of it,good shot. Good points,but if it was mine I would not crop it,as the eye follows the path well IMO.

Nice shot Geoff. I actually like the original. I think it is full of mystery. The light on the path and the bottom left of the frame is nice. The gate in the mist is wonderful. The trees certainly add to the atmosphere. The fact that the view is restricted by the mist really keeps my eyes in this magical world. It could do with maybe a little more brightness for my eyes. I like it.

 

I always enjoy seeing your work Geoff. Another good one.

I would love to see this in an old stately home in a huge, thick, gilded frame. Very 'Constablesque'
