    Sam,

    The compression artifacts introduced by attaching is just brutal on that image. Embedding is much betterer! thumb.gif

    To me, the photo isn't anchored enough, there's not enough ground / space below the door, between me (the viewer) and the door. I'd love to see more.

    David,

    Sorry about the artifacts. There is so much detail in the image I had to save it at #1 compression to upload. Unfortunately I can't see what you see. I'm not sure, but I think my computer displays the image from my hard drive rather than loading it from Digital Grin., headscratch.gif because it looks fine to me. Oh, and currently my only option is to upload.

    Andy,

    Thanks, good eye, some times I get so caught up with the texture, and detail, (love brick walls, rocks, and abstract images?) I don't see the other elements needed.

    I had some more ground at the bottom of the original image, and by just re cropping (had to use a different aspect ratio, easy) with this added foreground space it really did improve the composition. :D

    Moderator if the image is too compromised by artifacts to facilitate learning, or critiquing please delete it.

    Thanks,

    Sam

    Viewing, artifact update: I attended the photo class, lecture at Smugmug last night, and looked at this image from Digital Grin, the brick detail was perfectly clear, and no compression artifacts were visible.

    David's point is only that the attachment feature on Dgrin is not gonna show off a photo as well as other ways of doing so, say from an online Gallery. That's all :)
