Hi All,

Took this hand held at the long end of the tameron 28-300mm. Anyone like it at all or should I just bin it? :)

All C&C welcome as usual (I have it in raw).

Thanks,

John.

Hi John,

I don’ think it’s for binning – especially if it’s from the eternal city (may be wrong!).
I think it needs to be cropped so that the statue is a clearer centre. There’s too much sky on top and I think the name on the plinth is a distraction too. Hence, I would crop so that the halo is equidistant from top, left and right, and I’d crop out the plinth from the bottom.

Kind regards.

Tom.

Thanks Tom – this is my attempt at what you suggested

I’d like to see this as a moody black and white John, there’s some lovely cloud detail which might look well if you brought it out?. just a thought…

Cheers,

John,

I think it looks much better that way.
