Not too shabby at all. Nice way to be confined The light angle in this scene does a really nice job of adding depth to the view of the countryside.

Lovely. It would also be nice to shoot this zoomed in on the church and mountains.

I had a hell of a time removing a big crane down in that village next to the church, but in the end it was worth it! (Same crane as in 'The Crane' posted in City/Urban/Industrial this morning )

Sweet, I like the closeup too.

Sweet, I like the closeup too.

Thanks Ben, I'm wondering if I actually like the closeup better now.

 

[Jameel Hyder]

The closeup is definitely a stronger image, although the wide expansive view is nice as well.

Hey Amy, now if only my quarantine space looked like this. All I have around me for miles and miles is houses and buildings... none that are really photogenic.

I think I like the 2nd one too. I think I know what you were going for in #1, and I would have shot it like that too with the sun on the one side, the nice green grass for a lead in. But I think in comparing the 2, the grass ends up just becoming empty space in #1. So I think #2 works best.

Both are nice, but the second is definitely the stronger image. There is a bit too much foreground for me in the first compared to the second. The church and town are just lovely and I want to see that more than the grassy field.

There are many compositions in an image and I think both of these convey different emotions, Amy. I really like that second one too.

I appreciate the feedback, all

My brother-in-law is considering one of these to print and frame for the house. It surprised me when he preferred #1. He likes how it shows the broader landscape and mountain range, I think. It gives an idea of the village's environment.

If I were selling a print to the public, #2 seems more marketable, it's like a postcard image. But for my brother-in-law who lives here and knows the surroundings, #1 is more meaningful I think. And if I imagine it as a large print, perhaps there is more going on and more to appreciate in that photo. It all depends on the audience, presentation and context , I suppose.
