With my iPhone, on the way through the park today. Touch of the old masters, I think.

Nice classical composition.

I like the clouds. I miss clouds like that. Here clouds are bad.

Yes , i thought at first it was an oil painting .....and taken on an Iphone as well , a touch of the John Constables maybe .......Straight on the gallery wall , and since there is nothing modern in it for reference it could be older .........

It's really very straightforward and the basics of photography:

1. Find a pleasing subject.
2. Compose with the rule of thirds (major elements fall into 1/3rd of the image).
3. Lead the eye into the image, for depth.
4. Expose for the sky (with digital, for the shadows with film).
5. Pull the details out of the shadows in post-processing.
6. Sprinkle a little fairy dust.

The camera is usually irrelevant. People get way too uptight about gear and forget the image.

Very nice one Simon....!

Getting better and better......this one makes me think of Johannes Vermeer, the master of light and color....

My compliments![:D]

very - VERY INTERESTING! .......may be called "the six basic rules of photography? .... are they also valid for the black and white?

Thanks Simon !

I like your description and thats exactly why I called it a classical composition. Right from book number one. And I love book number one.

But... Your six points miss what I find to be the most important thing in a good photo. Light. To me photo is light.
And thats why I started to talk about the clouds and why I miss them where I live. These clouds are perfect. The make the light softer, which means more depth in the composition. And at the same time, there´s enough light to make shadows, which always add drama to a composition.

Agreed and I file that under "Find a pleasing subject" ;-) Without light, we have nothing.
