What a beautiful scene, and you have captured it with leading lines and points of interest throughout. I especially enjoy the patterns in the pavements. There is a large area in the foreground that makes it difficult for me to feel I'm going into your scene. Perhaps cropping would place the viewer on the point of entry. Posted: 08/06/2022 13:31:33
thanks and agree. forground and sky take too much areas in the image. cropping is needed indeed. Posted: 08/09/2022 20:11:12
I agree with Arabella on the foreground though I think she cropped too close at both the top and botttom. Here is my suggestion that shows more of the interesting brick work at the front. Posted: 08/09/2022 19:37:40
thanks Rusty. I like this cropped verstion more. Posted: 08/09/2022 20:12:05
I think all the crop versions improve the picture. The day I waas shooting the streets of Bergen, it was raining, so in muy pictjures I had almost no sky. That said, I think I like the sky and would crop lthe bottom as ARusty suggests. I would leave a bit more sky and crop the right itens on the left or desaturate them Posted: 08/16/2022 13:01:05
I agree that cropping strengthens the image. The pavement patterns are quite interesting and they still work well in Rusty's crop. Posted: 08/19/2022 11:27:53
Lovely scene & Rusty beat me to it Posted: 08/20/2022 04:04:43
I definitely feel that cropping is needed here to draw the eye through the image. I like the top crop that Arabella came up with and the bottom crop that Rusty did. So, here’s a combination of the two. Thoughts? Posted: 08/22/2022 14:49:49
Like this version. Payment pattern is interesting and sky can be removed a bit. Thanks Tom. Posted: 08/22/2022 15:15:40
