Lord Tennyson at "Lincoln Cathedral"

[harrypalmer044]

Just been going through what I felt were images not worth editing and found this one of a statue of Alfred Lord Tennyson outside of Lincoln Cathedral. With a little editing I cant make my mind up if it's any good or not. So what do you think?

Are you kidding me??? This is incredible. Great deep DOF, and the composition is unmatched!! Good form, sir!

High Jim,
First of all, loving your work from your recent visit. And yeah I am not sure if this is any good or not, maybe it because the statue was made from dark bronze and I cannot lighten it to give it anymore detail. I love the cathedral and the sky came out ok but just uncertain if it were any good.
But thank you for your comment, makes me feel I need to look more closely at my images and see if there are more there that I am not looking at being more creative with
Take care.
David.

Wow, beautiful, you seriously passed this one by before? The composition is bang on the button, as is the dof & detail.
Excellent capture.

Wow, my first thought was that if you didn't feel this was worthy, I should thrown out all of mine! I love it David, really. I love how you've composed it, & I also love the contrast between the statue and the cathedral. A great perspective.

I know what you mean though - I have pics that I feel blah about, yet others have seen them and sincerely loved them. I think part of it is that we all are attracted to certain things foremost, so we just have to learn to broaden our outlook on our own stuff I think.

Hello Harry! I like this very much, you did a good job of exposing the statue, retaining the detail. The architecture of the the Cathedral is beautiful, It's a wonderfully captured photo with great composition and a lovely sky.
Thanks for sharing this

High Nicky, thanks for your comment, I think you hit the nail on the head. Sometimes I think I have found a real gem and edit it a little stick it on here and it disappears without trace then one like this comes along which I thought would go the same way and it seems to be doing ok. Your also right that I need to broaden my outlook and try not to be so critical of my work.
Your such a clever lady....
Thanks again.
David.

High Michael, many thanks for your kind words, I guess I miss judged this one eh. I have to say that I have been looking at your work on Flickr and it is truly stunning, so beautiful. Maybe I will get there one day and with comments like these it goes along way to making me feel more relaxed around my work
Thank you.
David.
