Howard Somerville club has replied to Isisbridge clubIsisbridge club has replied to Howard Somerville clubAnd why crop the bridge when that is an integral part of the picture?
Or has the bridge been added from another location?
Howard Somerville club has replied to Isisbridge club1. There was nothing special about the sky - in fact it should have been semi-Sheppertoned like the later shot, but either way the sky was incidental and not the subject of the picture. The elements of the picture were arranged to best fill the frame, and that included including the foliage at the top which holds it together.
2. The bridge was not cropped. The picture was taken with the camera set to 1:1 AR and that was the entirety of the frame. The bridge (which IS at that location - this was the bridge toll house) was hidden behind a b****y white van. There's a constant stream of traffic on that bit of road and one has to wait very patiently for a gap. On that occasion (a year ago) I was on an organised walk and (without losing the party, already disappearing far up the road) couldn't wait any longer. I airbrushed out the van as best I could but lost the bridge regardless. That's why, yesterday, I drove to Inglesham via Pangbourne so that I could re-take it. It was the same time of day and month so I knew the lighting and shadows would be similar.

Isisbridge club has replied to Howard Somerville clubHoward Somerville club has replied to Isisbridge clubI recently bought a print of Constable's Dedham Vale (my all-time favourite picture) and noticed that of the many prints of his work for sale, quite often the replicas are cropped versions of the originals. What might that say about modern-day, mass-market judgement and taste?

I don't understand how your own eye is led downward.
If you did that with Roy's picture here, you would hit your head on the concrete.

But I don't know enough about the mechanism of human visual perception to lay down any rules about where and how the eye is or should be directed, or to say how important it is vis a vis other factors in composition - overall balance, inclusion of interesting features like clouds and chimneys - I just accept that what to me looks right may not do so to others and vice versa.
Isisbridge club has replied to Howard Somerville clubI don't see how you can see a ground-based photo in a top-down direction.
This is top-down direction (see note on photo):

Being left-eyed, I am more comfortable with a picture that looks to the left, as with this one.
In the top picture, my eye is being drawn towards the bridge, but is slightly confused by your having truncated the base. The second picture is better from that point of view, as (although not showing the bridge) it allows me to stand where you did and look towards the house.
