I wouldn't say I have a distaste to the first, just a preference to the second ones perspective. It has more space to it, if you know what I mean? I also really like the fact that they are not lined up perfectly in neat rows with diagonal lines. In my mind that sort of tidiness is only for deceased military personnel, this messy alignment represents real people to me.
I'm wondering if it's because of being so low and close to the crucifixes? I know wide angle lenses do amazing things to pictures just with a shift of a few centimetres.
I just went through all of the pictures taken with my ultra-wide angle lens (11-16mm) and I can't find that sort of distance compression in any of them. Could just be the angles of how I have taken the pictures.
I owe you a huge thanks for posting these pictures today, we homeschool two 14 year old boys and this has ben the focus of research and discussion for them this morning. Not the perspective so much, but the event in history that the picture represents.

You are very welcome. This isn't something I learned about with my "traditional" education. But it's an important event, regardless of whether you want to characterize it as a "genocide" or in other terms. Seems to often get missed or glossed over.
Best to you and your family
Thanks guys!
Love the contrast here - the blues and oranges as well as the near and far subjects really work. Very nice fcortese (ditto for your 2nd picture)!
The overflow for the lake at Mount Lofty Botanic Gardens.
Nice one John! Great autumn colours and reflection.

Chocolate House looks like a dangerous place for a chocoholic like me!
Good chocolate and coffee are my remaining two vices these days.
One of my favourite "birding" spots shot in the early morning. The line of trees separates and protects the pond and marshland (foreground) from physical abuse by Lake Ontario (background). A truly wonderful place.

This fellah hangs out just behind my home... thumping his chest to attract the ladies. If he looks stunned it's because he calls, and all he gets is a two legged giant with one eye !

Art Nouveau staircase in a building, now department store of luxury goods, in Ljubljana. I love the design. The gorilla at the door was very kind and let me set up tripod etc., nice.

Took this photo whilst trying to work out if we could fit these in the boot of the car... They'd look perfect in our huge front yard!

Nice photo!
BIG CAR!!
Thanks Shrink. Yeah, they are about 4 or 5 metres high! Probably weigh a bit too.
This was a relatively convoluted picture for me. Three photo's merged together in photoshop. One exposed for the sculpture and foreground grass, one exposed for the lake and hills in the background and one exposed for the sky. Not exactly HDR, but not too different. I found it an interesting exercise, having to think about how I would expose for each part and where those parts would start and stop. I'm doing this a lot lately. It satisfies the OCD part of me!

Interesting information about the photo.
Looks good to me...but, then again, it took me quite a while to figure out the photo below is shopped. I'm not the brightest bulb in the chandelier!!

That looks like a Chuck Norris sight-gag, if there is such a thing!
Hankster and TheReef, thank you for your kind comments. It's amazing how much the colors of the orange-red rocks and earth come alive in those golden hour moments. Midday, they appear more light brown. For this iconic shot, for those who have not been to Arches Nat'l Park in Moab, you hike up a at times step and uneven trail for about 1.5 miles. When we got there and set up, the setting sun was behind clouds, A gap in the clouds finally opened up and for about only 3 or so minutes lit up Delicate Arch. You could hear all of the camera firing away like crazy, mine included!
