Cambridge churches: St Bene't's

Flickr Explore: September 23, 2007.

Detail from St Bene't's Church in Cambridge. I was going to do it as a "Where in Cambridge?" shot but thought it may be a little difficult!

    it's beautiful, and I would not crop as I like the faint shadow!

  5. LindaScannell (69 months ago | reply)

    I wouldn't crop it either - I like the negative space.

  6. Gasindius (69 months ago | reply)

    Well balanced.

  7. anglia24 (69 months ago | reply)

    Extraordinary composition. By not cropping this, the eye is left to look out and not down. I think you're likely to spend more time in thought with the original photo.

  32. Sony_A100_A700 (69 months ago | reply)

    I'm inclined to agree with you, you took the image and framed it and it's Cool.

    I'm the sort of person who crops an image because I can, but there have been a few images, including this one, that would look odd if you cropped off the "dead space", it does in fact add to the image and enhances it :)

  33. digimono ( Mostly Away ) (69 months ago | reply)

    Negative space is delicious and this image is very tasty!!

  34. Eddie Chui (69 months ago | reply)

    Nice composition, I think the empty space added to it.

    I like it -- very simple and beautifully composed. = ]

  38. NasB (69 months ago | reply)

    Love it! Graceful and ephemeral in its cold beauty.
    What adds depth and delicacy for me is the soft suggestion of the shadow on the right, so subtle you almost miss it. Except that without it, the image would be flat.
    Lovely work, SC.
    :-)

  39. onkel_wart (thomas lieser) (68 months ago | reply)

    don't crop this!!! it's just right the way it is... I love the "simplicity" (right word?) of it -- with such great little details like the shadow...

    Hello. Sir Cam! Thank you for your visit which brought me here to find your wonderfully eclectic photostream. I could have faved my way through all your pages. I stop here because this one 'knocked my socks off' ! Extraordinary & intriguing & totally captivating! Beautiful minimalism bathed in mystery, for the slight rainbow arc of shadow in the negative space gives the cold stone (?) a magical aura! Wow!
