I'd do some rendering work to reduce its visibility by evening out the tonal distribution and softening its impact on the photo, or by evening it out and accentuating it to give the sense of space and distance between it and the barn.
It would have been better had the eye point been about four feet higher, but ya gotta work with what ya got. ;-) G On Feb 24, 2007, at 3:33 PM, Jack Davis wrote: > As a practical matter, and as I stated to Marnie, I thought the > foreground was well selected.

And I am quite tall enough already, thank you. :-) So some suggestions here on how working with the tonalities might make it less so. I will play with it a bit. Sometimes I like to reduce contrast just to do that, and I may try that in the foreground. Although I've never done that before just in an area, so that's a good idea. Or fiddle in another direction.
