Graham,

If I might, I would suggest a slight change in point-of-view, perhaps lower,
to the left a bit and several feet forward, to allow the post to frame the
image on the right, rather than to stand, sentinel-like at the middle. The
post feels like an impediment to me, and I believe it would be better as
part of the framing, inviting me into the landscape just as the tree does.
Your black-and-white work is exquisitely balanced and exposed.

Len

Hi Len,

I was trying to stay as far right as possible to keep the footpath through 
the wheat as well defined as possible whilst keeping as much of the tree on 
the left as I could. A lower viewpoint would have further reduced the 
footpath definition, however, your point is well taken and the more I look 
at the shot the more obtrusive the post becomes.

The fallen tree in the foreground was the seating/table for lunch and hunger 
may have shortened the time I took considering all the options as thoughts 
of turkey salad sandwiches vied with technical considerations :-)

Thanks for looking and for drawing my attention to a weakness in the shot 
that I had overlooked. It is one of my favourite walks and given the right 
conditions I will shoot the scene again with your comments in mind. I will 
of course send you the result. Thanks again.
