Critique Welcomed A nice tree by the river...

[Hamish Gill]

Ive tried to take photos of this tree loads of times... every time I have felt something was missing...
Turns out, all it needed was snow!

It is this shot from the my first roll of film from the Ricoh that tells me i'm on to a real winner with this camera! Its perfectly exposed and the scan is stunningly sharp! Great camera!

Fabulous shot Hamish and I like the steeple off in the distance on the right. I like the way the composition leads you there.

Glover's Needle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... A Worcester landmark I am yet to take an even vaguely successful photo of!

Apart from this one you mean?! I see, a folly along the lines of Jack Fuller's sugar loaf.

The Sugar Loaf Folly built by John "Mad Jack" Fuller

I went to school with his great, great (I think that's enough greats!) grandson. He was barking too!

I suppose ... It does make a nice secondary subject ... The bloody thing just doesn't work as a main point of interest in a photo for me ... Anyway ...

That sugar loaf is one whacky thing ... What a great back story to it! If I had loads of cash I'd do mad **** like that with it!
