But then, that's just a matter of personal preference. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Tom. I totallyhear what you are saying, and i also wish I would have used shallower depth of field. I was just playing around with the diagnol of the fence and size diminishing in the speaker in the background to reinforce perspective. Cheers.

Thanks FoG, but what the heck is a "tannoy"? Is that the other loudspeaker? Cheers.

I like the horse shot, too, Nicky. I have seen so many amazing horse pphotos from members in my photo club, that I want to play with them as well. It also reminds me of horseback riding when I was a kid.

Thanks Steve. I recropped that on in a similar manner to the bench, with consideration for the loudspeaker on the fence.

Thanks Steves Shots. That was an interesting one for the shadows and highlighted areas. The contrast with the net was a bonus.
