Artist's Comments

The devil was digging a trench to allow the sea to flood the many churches in the Weald of Sussex. The digging disturbed an old woman who lit a candle causing a rooster to crow, making the devil believe the morning was fast approaching. The devil then fled, leaving his trench uncompleted.

That crazy devil.... what will he do next? :shakefish:

This is a test shot I took today in the rain. I'm sharing it because its a local scene I haven't posted up here before and I'm visiting it often to try and catch it in the right light. I'm hoping you can see the same potential I can. This one is just a hand held big aperture shot that I only bothered with because of the girl on the Horse..... I wonder if she will be there on the day I get the right weather.

..... Anyway, look out for a much better version.

Err..
My humble opinion is that perhaps the light that agrees more to the image is one that emphasizes the curve of the defile that lost by the left. In order to mark something plus the depth of the place.

Your right, I need to have that curve well defined, I think an evening light might do that as it will make that rich green really textured. Plus it needs my tripod and a very narrow aperture to get it much sharper.

This landscape has near-limitless potential. There's a slight fuzziness about the whole image that gives away the handheld element, but as a compositional piece it is marvellous; the tones are good, too. I look forward to future deviations of the same location: I think you'll get some stunning pieces if you're there at the right time. This'd probably look good in black & white, too, especially if there's a human element there at the time.
