Looking Over the Wall

Any suggestions on how to improve?

Depends on what your vision of this capture is, based on the title the scene beyond the fence is the main subject. The fence has a very stark contrast and competes with the background which is processed or captured very meekly; so the fence dominates the composition and the effect is enhanced by the foliage border above.

Jim you've done a classic job in using the railing, trees and branches to nicely frame the shot. The only problem I have with the image is that your frame is a lot more impressive than the subject that is being framed.

Nice image; yet someone walking on the ground or a gracing cow might have added a punch to the subject

Thanks for the feedback all, appreciated. I guess it is kind of boring with no defined subject.

Hi Jim,

I agree with the earlier comments above.

I find myself wanting to see the near edge of the lake (puddle?), which is hidden behind the top of the fence (and not visible through it either) - so in other words, shoot from just a little higher to reveal the near edge.

HTH, Dave
