Ups & Downs
My Up is Ade's - Whitehaven Candlestick. An interesting bit of stonework & certainly fits the bill as far as the challenge is concerned. For me, its a little bit too central in the frame - maybe moving a bit to the left to show more of the left pier wall with the candlestick offset to the right might have made a more interesting image. Also, personally, I like my black & white images to be a bit more contrasty. There are many different ways of creating mono images - some of which give more control than others.
My Down is Graham's - Beneath the Crooked Spire. Again a very interesting subject. Personally I'me not sure about the angle/perspective. I'm also left a bit wondering if I'm supposed to be looking at the spire as suggested by the title, or the huge stained glass window & surrounding stonework, which dominate the image.
As always Guys, JMHO
