Should I ignore reality? Feedback appreciated...
brunojapp replied to brunojapp's topic in Black & White Practice
I tend to agree with you about that. It would be easy to replace the grassline with a straight line, and in a way I like the simplicity of that look. But at the same time it would remove the subject from what it really is. I suppose it's up to individual taste, but I prefer the grass-line too. -

Thank you for your reply both of you. What I considered doing was photoshopping the slight slope of the ground away (or the slight tilt of the stone as it is on the original photo, where the ground is artificially level because of the way I held the camera). By doing so I would remove the slight slope of the original hill to make it a picture without an obvious unbalance/mistake. And that made me wonder if doing that would be braking some unwritten rule of good photography behavior? But I get the point about having already lost the real world by converting to a silhouette. So I think I'll level the ground. -
This picture shows a Memorial Stone from the war between Denmark and Prussia/Austria in 1864. It is raised on a slightly sloping hill, and that shows when then picture is made into a B/W silhouette. I can correct this in Photoshop, but my question is whether I should do that, or if I should let the real world remain as it is? On one hand it would make the picture more balanced, but on the other hand the stone was raised to remind us of a battle on this exact hill. So would it be the right ting to do to remove the "sloping Hill-effect" in the picture? I can't figure out what the right answer is. If there is any right answer... It would be very interesting to hear your opinion on this question.

I'm prompted to enter a valid message, so hopefully this text will do. I don't understand why the picture doesn't show as thumbnail?
