Nice one Flick. I too like the strong lines of the building with the delacate circular moon in the notch. Shelby

Thank you Adrian, very reinforcing comments.
My main problem with this shot was where to put the angles. It's an old building built on the edge of the flood plain, so the building is frankly wonky. If you get the roof straight the wall isn't, if you get the chimney straight, everything else goes out. i had to compromise.
I was lucky with the early(ish) morning light.
Thanks for looking and commenting.
Flick.

i really enjoy this one Flick - lovely colours/tone, and the major angles of the building serve to reinforce the appearance of the building cossetting the moon - great eyes for seeing, and beautifully captured. thanx, adrian

Hi Tim, now I've got to think up a suitable thank you after coaxing you into the open.
Really, thank you!

Hi Flick - I was your mystery fan! Tim

Hi David, thank you for the comments.
Cropping from the top cramps that branch. i like the sense of space round it. But these things are subjective. I had others cropped tighter in the camera, but i didn't like them as much (you have to understand i suffer from claustrophobia - plus I've a leaning towards Zen ;-)

Beautiful crafty composition. Very clever. I might just have cropped a bit from the top, but that's just me. Creative image. -- DF

Nice one Flick - lovely clear light and the stone looks heavenly with that little moon peeping out!
