  Hi Mark,

  I find the colour a bit odd here somehow. A bit flat?
  Maybe it’s the quality of the light.
  Maybe it’s just me. :)

  I wondered too if maybe the subjects are a little too small although it does give an impression of vastness?
  I imagined a composition with less of the bottom and left with the 3 figures placed more
  towards the lower RH third.

  But hey it’s just an opinion.

  Cheers,

  John.

  Hi John, I deliberately left loads of space around the subjects to convey the vastness of the area these guys were walking and working in. Again, this was taken about 12.00 midday so I HDR’d it to see how it looked. I was thinking of cropping it as you say but I liked the patterns of the pools of water.

  Thanks for taking the time to stop by and comment.
