Default Bills Gate

Photographers Comments
I took this photo a Portland Bill today. Not sure whether I should crop the image to only show the gate - or maybe this would make it unbalanced?

My personal opinion is do not crop, the seat counter balances the white of the gate.

I agree with AL
The gate and fence draw my eyes along to the seat and then the glorious blue sea and sky.

Thanks Guys, yes, I see what you mean - if I cropped out the sea and seat it would look very 'white'. Thanks for that. Much appreciated.

Agree with Mello, you chopped the top off the rounded bits of the gate which make a nice pattern!

Hi guys, sorry about the 'chopped' gate. You must understand however that it was blowing a Force 6 gale, I was stood at the edge of a cliff and it was all I could do to stand up straight! However, I will try to do better next time.
