Cricket on the Vine |
The difficulty with this shot is the failing light (not that it stopped play!). I wanted to keep that feel of approaching night but without it just looking too dark. The strong low sun from the side was casting nice shadows but has given us a washed out area on the left of the image.
All in all, I'm happy with this photo because it captures the feeling of a traditional English summer's evening that I felt when I was there taking it. However, I'm sure others won't like it because they don't have that memory of actually being there. When working on a photo it is hard to divorce yourself from the reality of the setting and be able to judge the image solely on its own merits.
