House on the hill vs House on the hill

I took this shot 2 years ago

and this 2 weeks ago


House on hill by Hamish_Gill, on Flickr

I took some shots on the Harman Titan too, but they will be a different kettle of fish altogether.

Just wondering what people thing of the new vs old ... if anything?

H,I prefer the old, reason being is that the detail of the building is more presentable due to the angle, bit then saying that, the second is more appealing in a sense of simplicity.... HAMSUSH!! Why have you done this!!!!!??

Its number two for me, Hamish. It looks so mysterious and damp.

 

[Pete Askew]

Tricky. Quite different images. I prefer the more recent one as it has more mystery to it. I also prefer the angle you have used as it makes the house into a more graphic element. The second also looks more effortless and tt also reminds me of some of the images in Bill Brandt's "Literary Britain' (even though his prints were often heavily worked).

 

[Paul Lange]

I think the second looks a bit more bleak and atmospheric and as Brian says, more mysterious.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Thanks for the responses, I hope to have more

each have their merits. i prefer the angle of the building in the first, but i like the fog in the second.

Hamish, the second for me, mystery, moody and the tone suits better to the overall bleak atmosphere.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

I've reached a final decision after looking at them for 10 minutes..... Number 2.

Interesting! Thanks for the comments folks ... As it goes, I prefer the second too. The first is a bit too conventionally framed and the pp just looks forced to me these days ... So Cheers
