They are two entirely different photos. I think that I like the color one better. They're both nice, but neither one totally grabs me. The "nearly square" format doesn't quite work. With this basic composition, I'd go completely square, trimming the right side so that it was the same distance from the right handle as the left wheel is from the bottom then trim the left to make it exactly square. I agree with others about the cluttered background and the tree in the middle, what I think would be the best crop (although it would be a different photo) would be to crop the left side just keeping a sliver of light to the left of the tree, and use that to frame the left side of the picture. I think that all the clutter on the left side of the frame distracts from the picture. YMMV, it'd be a very different picture than the one you've got, and I don't know what your artistic intent was. > > > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
