It's a lovely image but very cluttered. I would crop rather substantially to focus interest, perhaps by taking off the whole top section above the window frame and a chunk at the bottom - meaning much of the iron ballustrade. It's very attractive but it's not the main subject. Will be very interested to know why you don't crop if that is your decision.Maria Coulson November 05, 2012
Ian, thanks for taking the time to comment on this picture. I posted it in the club, but I believe it was before you joined. The comments are on page 13, and no one suggested what you are suggesting. I like it the way it is, but I will try your suggestion, and who knows, I may like it even more. #10405488Laura Greene November 29, 2012
