Not because it's perfect but because it's of a location, just a bit different and a subject that I appreciate. By the way I don't think that it's skew. I think the horizon is a hill.<br /><br />After that B and then C. I see no merit in D and there are a thousand like E.

It has warmth in the bricks, a trio of linked buildings and height and colour in the foreground. However I do concede the sky is a little too dominant but that may be to do with the horizon being placed too close to the centre of the photo.<br />C & E don't make he cut with me and B has just too many horizontal lines and no warmth.<br />And that leaves D, which is unloved by almost everybody. However, as you say, in its stillness it captures a curved line through the batsman's body which is carried right through to the end of the bat.<br />Howzat?<br />Good luck with your decision Pudding - just remember you can't please all the people all the time. And the judge's decision is final.<br /><br />AlphieAlphie Souphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17041492283753978975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-29665925336299272452017-06-29T20:52:41.381+01:002017-06-29T20:52:41.381+01:00The sheds are on Hastings pier.

Get closer, use less zoom. Try for the same photo early or late in the day for light. <br />C. 2nd runner up. Good impulse here, too. The shot is there, but the foreground is too big. Maybe a little more zoom and a little less light, too.<br />D. if the ball were in the shot, maybe. . .<br />E. sun flare provides the interest here, but the photo was too late for the light<br /> <br />I would choose A for its strength of composition, its clarity, and its colour. The poppies assert life. Looking at photos teaches us to take pictures by forcing us to think about how and why they work. Always a fun exercise. You already know what makes great photos, as do several of the regulars on your blog, but thanks for asking for input, anyway. Good luck with your decisions.
