Thank-you for the postive feed back and advice. Yes, it does make sense and did look nice on my screen, so I checked it on my other computer and the one at work. You are right my screen is off. Thanks!
I do like the composition better on this one than the other shot (Sand Writings) and if I may make a suggestion (it just may be my screen) the tones look a tad dull, I would add a bit more contrast to make the details in the wood pop out more and give it more depth, hope that makes sense. ;)
