DSS#127 Attemps - need C & C please

torrbrae

Attempting to represent some lines from the poem, and have two alternatives at present. Critique and comment would be appreciated.

#1 A Place to be Alone




#2 Toss them in the Sea




Thank you.

Nice shots.

I think the first would benefit if you stepped back to bring in a bit of foreground. The tree gives us the sense of being on a hilltop, but it is a bit disconnected.

I think I would want to see more of the sea in the 2nd one for the line you are illustrating.

Thanks for the comments - bit hard to step back to get more of foreground, so have gone with cropping in to take out the trees. is this better?

#3 A Place to be Alone 2

I think I actually like it better with the tree and the moon than without it.

First one is better with the tree.

For the second one, have you tried different crops? I like the concept but I agree that we do not see enough of the sea.
