One of those big cloud & strong sun kinda days

Light was great but fast changing...a shot taken seconds later the sun had moved off the tower in the background & the whole scene different

I've sat on that bench...Beautiful shot, Richard. The clarity of the tree against the sky is wonderful. Shame the guy on the right has a tree growing out of his head, though...Amazing sky.

Fantastic lighting and a very nice composition there Richard. Very nice.

Yes...Tree on head is a bit of a 'Doh!' but a shot I took moments later was completely different. The sun had moved off the tower at the back & the whole feel changed.
It's a shame you can't edit a bit of space in there.
Apart from that little glitch I am very pleased with this one

Love that moody sky - very dramatic lighting

You could always clone his head out!!

I can see why you went for the first. The attention is draw very much to the figures in this shot rather then the tower.
