Default Penny Farthing Letterbox

Photographers Comments
Here in Wilmot everyone has a quirky letterbox, this is the Penny Farthing with Mt. Roland in the background.

Hi Josie, good subject and I like the colours, looks nice and sharp and it is certainty a quirky letterbox. Although I think a slight crop off the top and right hand side would improve composition as the Penny Farthing would then be just off centre of the image. Well spotted.

Hi Josie, agree with Barry if subject wasnt dead centre it would be more interesting but a nice image of an unusual subject with a lovely background. Nice one

Hi Josie, very interesting subject, nice and sharp with great colour.
Agree with Barry aswell about the composition, just needs cropping.
Well done.

Hi Barry, I did actually crop this picture after I uploaded it, I cropped out the tree on the right and lowered the sky, does look better, thank you for your comments and helpful hints.....
