How Shadows Can Change a Photo

Same fence but from a different angle that produced the fence shadows.

That is not as much Shadow as it is under exposed and over exposed , look at the ground where the tree shadows
From the small trees there is no shadow to speak on the buildings , the two ground shadows on each picture is the same , so the fence is getting no shadow , I think it's just your expouser, on each fence not sun or shadows ,

The first one is about the right expouser for fence and every thing looks better than second which is over exposed a tad ,

It is good to see you looking at shapes and shadows in the landscape. You have to be up early or out late to maximise the effect. This image shows a possible location rather that what you were trying to portray. You need to be much tighter in focussing on what you want your image to tell.
If you see the shadow under the bush in 3 you are shooting near to Noon. That is why you have lost the detail in the building. The detail in the fence alone would have been what I would have concentrated on (repetition and lines) It is not really a shadow more the difference in reflection between being in or out of the direct sun. To get what you are trying to point out, I would have got a lot closer to the fence and walked around it a bit to get the optimum composition of the fence alone.
In #1 the fence looks fairly straight along its length. However, in #2 the fence is seen to be leaning in different ways. Again, see if that alone creates a pattern. The darker side may create a high contrast shot in morning light and the sunnier side will reveal the wood grain better if that is what you decide.
A landscape is a big image and sometimes you want the 'majesty' of it all and sometimes just the 'interesting' bits. It is good to see you are looking and experimenting with the details.
Have fun

IBM, thanks for stopping by. What got my attention was how different the fencing looked from a different angle.

G Brown, Repetition and lines have always caught my eye and the "Interesting Bits" as you mentioned are part of that.
Thanks for your comments and thanks for stopping by.

The biggest differences in the two shots that I see are the fences, ducwic.

sailorsmom, yes, and that's what caught my eye. The same fence from two different views and it sure looked different.
Thanks for stopping by.
