Nice pastoral scene, colours, layers. I might try cropping a bit at the bottom to make the foreground road a bit less dominant.

Love this! I can hear the sound of the waves sucking at the shingle 😁 The asymmetry makes for a wonderful split vision effect.

Crop 😁

I actually shot a few different compositions, I've learned that they can look quite different on the computer screen as opposed to through the viewfinder. The trouble is, sometimes I can't choose which one I like the best :) And sometimes after a day or two, it changes a bit also.
Here's another tighter crop. Well, not so much a crop, but framed with a lot longer focal length
-
Ha ha! Yes, I often change my mind about images too.
I think I prefer the original, especially if you zoom/crop in to the equivalent bit. The original has the tree against a contrasting background, and shows the winding track up to the ?graveyard. The second one loses the tree against a darker background, and the track it obscured. -
Thanks for the interesting back story Hope you health is more or less back to normal and you're feeling fit again.
I really like this shot from your other post
...lots of layers and leading lines to connect them. -
Yeah good as gold. That's the thing, you don't feel particularly crook or anything, just a bit of cramp type symptoms in the back of your leg/s. I only suspected it because I've had a DVT about 20 years previous, after a foot operation. It's pretty damn frustrating because you feel fit and fine, but for your own health and safety you've got to immobilse yourself with your legs elevated for a couple of weeks. I've actually really really enjoyed my enforced relaxation -once we got the all clear on the clots being dissolved. No rushing around worrying about catching planes, trains or buses, just going to bed, waking up, going out to dine, wandering about the place etc, completely at our leisure.
I'm still on the blood thinners, could have stopped them but I'll wait until I get my feet on the ground after the flight back home. That will be Friday :) -
The dark blue sky is interesting here, almost like it is a B&W photo with a filter used to make the blue sky look black.
The composition lives from the straight dividing lines.We have both waves and, the many stones as, particles, could it be a cover from a Quantum physics book ;-)

It's a nice technique to make something that looks like an impressionist painting.
When I find something good like this and turn it upside down, I usually leave a bit of the real subject in at the bottom for context, but it can look good without it.
So it's up to you to decide ;-) -
That was my thinking. It probably looks a bit better without out it but with it included, it can be cropped or ignored. If I cropped it then no-one gets to see it.
