I like the composition of your shot. I feel a little conflicted because I really like the shadows you've captured with this light/time of day, but that same light seems over exposed/burnt out in the center. Perhaps you could have waited a little or taken just a little sooner, depending on if it is morning or evening. A difference of maybe 15-30 min. if that, could catch the sun lower behind trees, cutting down on the brightness, yet still catching interesting shadows.
I just want to thank you for your comment. This really helps when someone gives me a tip and not just a critique. Thanks so much. I will try that.
That shot would certainly ruffle feathers in the press - it's a lovely wood to lose. If this is true then it's very sad. OK it's not a car park at least, but it does still do a lot of damage to the local species.
Photographically, it's flawed (blown sky) but the shadows are great.
This is a nice photo, I like the long shadows. I have one problem about the title. It is editorialized. Why you may think it is a beautiful park, the reader may not. With headlines try to stick to the facts. Say this photo is for a story about local citizens upset that this park is going to become a golf course. How about "Proposed Course Location Angers Locals" The story and caption could tell the reader where the location is.
