Re: Dalby Church

I like the shot a lot, it is full of texture and form, on a down side I am not so keen on the heavy frame,

Re: Dalby Church

Great shot Andy. Again, I love the processing you've done. I don't mind the frame so much, but I think it would benefit from your signiture or such thing just to give it a bit more purpose.

Great work,
Garry

Re: Dalby Church

Thanks guys, I'm never sure about adding frames. I have a plain version too on Flickr, will add that too when I get home.

Re: Dalby Church

Thanks all. I have to admit that the IS on the 24-105 helped a LOT, I was fairly sure at the time that I'd fluffed the shot.

Here's the border-less version.

Re: Dalby Church

Nice shot, really like the processing. kind of a subtle HDR. I usually go for white frames, but seeing it posted frameless, I feel the dark frame adds further weight to the composition, and directs the eye into the shot. Its the one for me.

Re: Dalby Church

Great sky and I like the processing. I am also not a lover of borders, but I think yours works well. It concentrates the eye on the shot and doesn't compete with it.

Re: Dalby Church

Thebordered one for me too it seems to add something to the picture

Re: Dalby Church

Quite like the version with the border.

Thinking back to my days of mounting prints on board it was normal to have slightly larger border at the bottom. Not sure why this worked but for some reason looked better.

Re: Dalby Church

I prefer the borders Andy.
I don't normally like HDR but this seems to really enhance the shot, did you use the trial or full download of Machinery Effects?
