@quietpurplehaze Many thanks for your critique Hazel, looks like this is the better image, it may even make the cut for the next camera club competition:)
@novab Thank you Nova yes at the end of the day its my preference but its nice to find out what others think, I do now agree the one on the right is better:)
I didn't know you had done this side by side comparison Peter, I have just come across it. A username in the heading of your image won't inform the person you've responded to them, you need to select reply, and then type your text along with the username of the person you're responding to. I hope this make sense? Your RHS image is definitely less distracting for me. My view is drawn to your subjects and not constantly flicking to the box.
