    For me, #3 is the strongest. Were there others in the shooting series before/after this one image?

    1 and 4 just don't tell me much and #2 is too cluttered with the branch shadows IMO.

    I would agree that # 3 is the strongest of the set. I like the placement of the horizontal lines complimented by the vertical fence lines, gives it sense of movement . Nice Composition thumb.gifthumb
    I would give you three thumbs up ,but I only have two.

    All nicely seen, Ben, but if I may...In 1, I want to see the shadow of the kid's feet, and don't want to see the bit of whatever it is in the upper left corner? In 2, with it's great shadows, I need to see the, uh, thinner woman's feet. In three, which is fabulous, I'd screen to get a hint of detail in the shadow around the bottom of the dog walker. And 4? I want the shadow not falling on th sleeper, but passing him by. :-)
