Avenue

[nickjohnson]

I've had several goes at this avenue of pollard trees. Several viewpoints - with and without leaves, etc. I've come to the conclusion that they are a supporting act rather than a main feature. So here I've cropped so that the eye gets a chance to look under the canopy and beyond the forest of trunks - to the far detail. Any good? Thanks for looking.

Hi Nick, do you have any of your other shots of this avenue for comparison?

IMO the trees really are the main subject here, and I would be tempted to try a very low POV (laying on the ground ) and make them dominate the image....just a thought.

Thanks Rob, Give me a day or two and I'll see if I can root the others out of the bit bucket.

Agree with Rob, I reckon a low viewpoint would make the trees more dominant, whether it will work in practise is another thing. I presume you have tried shooting straight down the middle of them.
