I feel this works better in B/W taken at St Agnes on a cloudy September Morning

Re: Cornish Village

Hi Mike,

I wonder what a little more contrast might do to this image. I also find the right side of the picture a little busy and distracting. A vertical crop of the left side might be more appealing.

Keep in mind I'm an amateur!

Jim - I certainly agree the picture looks a little flat. I wonder if this could be something to do with Mike's monitor? Mike - any chance your monitor settings have been fiddled with, maybe contrast or brightness set a bit too high?

Hi Mike,

Aside from what Jim and Ian has said, for which I agree, (the image is a little flat) I reckon this is one of those shots that would benifit from a larger size as there is so much to see.

Any chance of a repost boosting the contrast, and maybe the increasing the size?

Cheers,
Ben
