Taken from a hill in Wales that I spend a fair bit of time on; it was the long shadow that attracted me to take this high POV landscape.

I quite like the idea here, there seems to be a really good shot in here. I can't quite put my finger on it, there just seems to be something not quite right. Perhaps it needs a little warmer light? either way I guess it's a very personal thing.
Nice clean and simple, not a shot many would have noticed. Works well, nice one.

I agree with Drew, this shot almost makes me do a double take, not sure if it's the way the fence lines lead you to the edge of the frame but then get pulled back in along the shadow of the tree. Unusual but it works for me

Like the idea Nigel - good to keep the eys open when waiting for those planes eh!!
For me if the two fences continued on until they met it would have provided a perfect symmetry that's just a wee bit cut off with them not extending to their junction. Might not have been possible with lens combinations etc but it's my two penny worth.
I do like it though.

Works for me. It's different and I like it.

Thanks guys.
I too would have liked the corner of the fences, however it is obscured by a tatty bush and the remains of a tree-stump! ......... chainsaw next visit I think!
I quite like this but if it were me I would try again next year when there are more autumn leaves on the tree. I reckon that is what is missing.
