I like the first one better, but I don't know why.

My name is Erik Shea, I had it up there before but thought the E. Shea looked manlier :). A local friend pestered me until I changed it.
I was hoping that I wouldn't offend you by adding you on there, but I like your stuff and like to be able to see when you post new stuff. I also like meeting and getting opinions on here, its great.

ThanKs E Shea -- what IS your name! Your opinion MATTERS! :) Thanks for taking the time. I just noticed you added me as a friend and I am honored! I will add you too because this is what it is all about -- learning from each other even though our emphesis might be miles apart and at polar opposite? I still love and recognize skill and artistry wherever I see it and will applaud it.

I am by no means a pro, in fact far from it, but I like the first one better, I like seeing the quills in focus, I like being able to see everything and look around. Some pictures look better to me with smaller DOF, but not this one.. (for me)

That is a beautiful scene. I can see just enough details through the glass to incite my interest. Colors are very good.

Hi Evelyn, nice shot. It has a moody feeling, and it reminds me a lot of some Blackmore's Night album cover :-)

Thank You Cameny -- your opinion means a lot -- as does the input of the others here who have responded to this and other pics I posted. I am actually in the process of reworking and printing out all my pics using the excellent suggestions I have received here. Thanks!!

Definitely I prefer bigger version with sharp foreground.
There is some very original view on your photo - it has some ambiance of the ages that passed. I like so much this view outside. Excellent!

Fantastic shot it was. You composed a good shot. Is there something taking the attraction a bit away?

No -- I don't think it is the same window but I can't tell if it is the same place or not. I prefer the version of this picture that you printed out for me -- more contrasty and mysterious.

I'm not sure this is the same place... maybe it is... I don't think that place had a tall window, my memory says it was more horizontal than vertical.

Hi Evelyn! Thanks for your comment on my work (just had to pop over for a peek myself at yours!). I prefer the top one - there is more f interest in the image as the eye is led in stages from inside to outside and is then able to return again. On the second one the eye gets forced away to the image outside and I get the feeling of a mixed focus - am I supposed to be looking at the background or the glass or the window frames...? The only change would make wouldbe to rotate the image slightly to true up the verticals. Excellent image! Look forwrd to seeing more!

Hi Amy -- you and Brad seem to have the same tastes in photos. One of these days he will break down and register to make comments. I wonder if this is the same place you photographed your "Bowls of Light"?

Hi Ev... I prefer the top one, the blurry feathers in the second one kinda bug me. Good idea and beautiful colors!
Glad you started posting!!! Amy

You are correct -- the first one detracts from the study of fractured images coming through the panes of the window because the focal point is torn between foreground and background. The blurry images hint but do not detract. I was torn between the two. Thanks for taking the time to comment and think about it.

i actually prefer the second version. it is drawing you to look through the window, whereas the first focuses on the objects inside.

I like the one on top - the feathers are a nice texture to the composition (IMHO). Nice job. Thanks for your comment elsewhere.

This one with the blurry foreground is more realistic but does not give a real focal point like the first one does. Which is most pleasing to you?
