Nelson View (New Girl)
Hello = many thanks for inviting me to join Photique 2008 I feel really honoured and hope over time to learn heaps, enjoy some wonderful company, make new friends. This is a view from my cottage (upstairs) window.
Let's have a Photique Convention in Nelson! I agree with Mary. Perhap if the scope is more on the right looking towards the trees to balance things up. It's a great idea and certainly conveys a feeling of peace and leisure.
Many thanks Mary and Moo (Am I really supposed to call you Moo)? - Do you know I placed this on Betterphoto and nobody suggested that - I was pleased with the B/W, I don't do much in Elements apart from crop and unmask sharpen but I did the b/w (not by using one touch grey scale but using layers etc - it was fun but takes so much time. I can see I am going to learn so much from you young ladies.
You are all more than welcome to come to Nelson or Christchurch anytime' I certainly intend heading your way when I visit my daughters in the UK - Messing sounds beautiful.
Yes, Kate articulated what I meant better than I did--it's very nice as it is, but would perhaps have a slightly more balanced composition if it were moved. In most cases, it's better not to have the focal point in dead center. It makes the picture look static. There are, of course, some exceptions. A very peaceful scene could set that way, but a tiny off-set could give it just enough movement to not make it dull.

WOW! Wonderful view! I'll be arriving shortly for a visit, LOL!
We'll be away for a week so I'll mostly be catching up later.
This is sweet in black and white.
I wonder if moving the scope out of the central position would improve the photo or not. That is, setting it slightly to the side.

Rule of thirds is good.
Diagonals are good.
