About the Image(s)

"
Most of my images weren't as successful as I had hoped them to be but I liked the symmetry and the colors of this one. I don't have enough patience to be out in the heat with the bugs, hoping to get a good shot. I am also having problems with my new glasses and the computer screen, so sorry if it is blurry...I can't really tell!

Quite a lovely, spectacular image. May I suggest cropping the left side, so as to make the confines of the top image match those of the bottom image. ie to bring them more into harmony with each other.   Posted: 07/10/2017 09:33:28



 
Had another look at this. Cropped it closer and cloned out some of the clashing bits. Do you like it ?   Posted: 07/22/2017 08:30:06

I do like your image...it tells a better story and shows more perspective!   Posted: 07/22/2017 10:53:53



 
Richard has added an altered version of Adelet's image rather than yours. I don't think it stands on its own but it could be incorporated into a creative image.   Posted: 07/28/2017 06:41:13

Clear capture but I feel you need to include the total firework of the top one. It would make it more dramatic. Fireworks are always a challenge.   Posted: 07/28/2017 10:17:54

I'm having a hard time trying to decide what is what...the top square image show only color, whereas the vertical image Richard did is spectacular, and really tells a great story.   Posted: 07/29/2017 22:22:07
 
My image is more-or-less an abstract image of a burst of fireworks. Richard's example is not my image...it even confused me at first.
Abstracts don't usually tell a story....they usually are pleasing to the eye. Maybe not this time.   Posted: 07/30/2017 08:00:19



 
My second comments here were intended for Adelet's. My right hand is useless, so my poor old left hand got it wrong.   Posted: 07/30/2017 04:14:09

Ok, now I get the difference between the 2 images....since they were both of the same subject it was confusing. The abstract colors work well, as an abstract, whereas the full image tell the story...   Posted: 07/30/2017 09:49:45

Confusion. Celebrate independence works great as caption for close up as burst. It works   Posted: 07/31/2017 22:20:35
