Looks so cool, what is the red cloth they're tied up with used for out of interest?

Hi Mike,

I normally really like your work but this does not work for me.

I can see what you are trying to achieve but it looks like you had a great idea but just didn't execute it well and tried to salvage it by cropping. I htink the balance and proportions are wrong.

I have never been sure about this one, although it's won me a couple of awards. The composition is deliberate and the crop pre-determined, which obviously works for some and not others. That's the good thing about photography in my book.

I agree 200% and as I said I do like your work - great vision.
