Really nice... love the raking light, I have looked on two different computers both high end imaging systems and it looks like there is some 'camera shake' present, it is more than likely me.....

Hello Phil.
I think the problem might be I did'nt resharpen after changing the image size. I have double checked and there is no camera shake. Have reposted another image with more sharpening, hope you find this better.
I did say it was probably me... compression isn't helping either, perhaps lancapes should be allowed a larger file size
All the best & still love the raking light.
Phil

Hi Guy, very nice image. Intrigued by your composition and I'm wondering why you chose to cut off the bottom wheel where you did? Would including more of it at the bottom and maybe more on the right hand side not made it as good visually? I struggle horrendously with composition of landscapes and just interested.

Hello Graeme.
Thank you for your comment. Yes I would agree with you that a little more room would have been nice. The problem I had was there are rocks right next the wheel, and they were also catching the light. As you can see I have used the big wheel as the strong point in the picture, and for this to work there has to be no parts of the picture to compete with it. If I had included more room then the rocks you would have saw would compete, and unbalance the picture. I think you are right though and I will include some more room in PS, before this becomes a big print.
