These are nice John. The first is particularly attractive. I think the window
of sky is very bright, but not totally blown out – however, the haze that
spreads from it is not good. I wonder if the lens is a bit dirty or if there’s
fungus or something. I don’t know much about that kinda stuff – maybe
someone else could comment.
The second shot has bags of detail in the tree, but I find the out of focus areas
a bit distracting. There’s an old geezer on the bench and I keep looking at him
which was obviously not your intention. I wonder if an opening of the aperture
would have brought more emphasis on to the tree.
