About the Image(s)
I selected this image to share, because they are all wearing a hat, they all have an instrument and they are all looking towards the player standing.
I did basic enhancement and eliminated the window on the left.

Very nicely done, Joe. It's a pleasure to move around the image with its many interesting visual points. The line of musicians, all looking at the bass player as you say, provides an effective diagonal line. I love the contrast of textures between the road and the wall, and in the absence of direct sunlight the exposure benefits from a soft box feel. I see you "plumbed" the window very well. Maybe a bit too much negative space in the upper left? Perhaps a small wall hanging composited from another image could balance that out -- a minor point. What if you cropped down to just a little above the bass? Posted: 10/06/2025 16:08:51
Jerry, your points are well taken and I did consider them, but adding something could be distracting and cropping down was kind of unbalanced or similar to the bottom. Posted: 10/06/2025 17:33:58
