Thanks Brian. Yes, it is White Rock.

I certainly like the original version but I would suggest a crop at left/top so that you lose the leftmost vertical support and just clip off the top of the horizontal support above the nearest right vertical. (Hope this makes sense: I'm viewing on iPad so can't download and crop myself) I feel that in your second edit there is too much emphasis at the top left, which somehow works against leading the eye into the distance.

Thanks for commenting Dave. Is this what you were saying for the crop.....

IMO the reworked version looks better, Rita. It's a nice image.

Thanks Dan.

Hi Rita, almost. I was thinking of just a tiny bit more shaved off the top, about a third of the way down the first transverse support, but your crop off the left is as I would have done it.

What a great photo.

Both versions are very good. My preference is for the second one; the diminishing perspective is emphasised more with the lack of negative vignette and the greater contrast in the wood. If it were mine I would print it and hang it.

Sorry for being a bit late as I was busy for a couple of days Rita. I like both versions and I think the crop improved the composition

Thanks Binnur

They're both beautiful images Rita. The first version provides a somewhat greater sense of isolation than the 2nd one does.

Thanks for commenting Arno and welcome to this great site.

Wonderful image. I prefer the perspective of the second, but they are both beautiful!

[Rita]

Thanks for commenting Kim. I am also preferring the second one too.
