Ghent in Summer

[Richard]

Hi, anyone who has been to Belgium 'for a day trip' probably went to Brugges - and 'enjoyed' the crowds. Just a short drive down the road is Ghent, an equally beautiful town - minus the crowds. This shot was taken in July 2007 on my first digital camera - a Canon 'point & shoot'. And before anyone mentions the need to straighten the buildings - talk to the builder - that's how they are



Thanks for looking - C&C welcome.
Cheers, Richard.

Agree with Taken on both points (wow) - reduce to about 7x5?

And I agree with both of you - it does look better.

Cheers, Richard.

Hmmm,
I think they are both good, I do agree with the second image, as it is more balanced.
(smaller portion of flowers).
However I do think that the first image has more of a 'flow' about it that the second one doesn't have.
eg the river curving round to the front gives a sense of movement that is pleasing to the eye.
Then again it does take the attention of the feature
I guess it just comes down to personal preference
