    No one else will be bothered by it but the cloud gashing the sky....bit distracting....
    Cheers Wayne!

    I love the combination of the angles of the two fences and the church, and the afternoon light on the church. When I study the picture I wonder two things:
    - would it benefit from cropping a bit of the left tree from the top and left side so that the nice framing remained but it pulled the steeple more into the sweet spot to the left of center?
    - is it this monitor (I'm at my ultrabook) or is the sky the slightest bit over-darkened?

    Keep up the great shooting - I always enjoy your work!

    Cheers, Sara

    Thanks Taz...those darn clouds are always hanging around in my skies! :D ...And I thought it would be the branches in front of the steeple.

    Always appreciated my friend!

    Take care,

    Thanks Sara...actually I went through the same process in regards to where to crop. In fact, after I posted the initial picture I replaced it with a tighter crop on the right. I thought that it looked too tight with more cropping and so the one you see is the one I liked.

    Not sure about the sky issues...I didn't darken it so it may be a contrast adjustment that's at fault here but I can see that you're right. Thanks! and always appreciate your thoughtful comments!

    Take care,

    Wayne
