As you might notice, if you saw the shot I put up the other day, there's been a bit of creative re-composition with this one, though only because I didn't want to post this one in portrait format.

It's amazing how a simple re-composition can make all the difference. I love both shots, but the first one is more pleasant for me. The "keep out" sign is also there, but the viewer is able see the surroundings and the presence of the man and the dog makes the image much richer.

A worthy attempt but falls far short of the original.

shooter: it is an original, in the sense that it's a different shot, but I take your point - I prefer the other one too.

actually the landscape seems stronger. i think the heavy value of the change draws you to it regardlessly. great image.

It's a great photo plain and simple.

See, this is the sort of jiggery pokery I would definitely stop short of in terms of processing (assuming I'm right in thinking that what you've done is shorten the chain to bring the hook into the square format). Lovely tone though.

Thanks all.
owen-b: normally, I wouldn't bother with this amount of 'jiggery pokery' either, but this one wouldn't have worked in portrait format and I didn't really have anything else worth putting up.
