Old wheel


Recommended Posts

I agree that an almost square crop of the wheel would be compositionally more pleasing.

 

But, sorry, the posterised look adds nothing IMHO. I'd much rather see a full range of smooth tones in B&W or colour thanks. To me the blocked shadows are especially ugly. Forgivable in a genuine silk-screen print, but as a digital effect - why?

 

I did this just to liven up no more than a snapshot of an interesting object,

And I now regret it to the point where it makes me cringe.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I think it's mostly an issue of personal preferences. Yes, color separates better, but I really love the B&W version. Yes, cropping more would isolate the wheel better, but it might feel too boxed-in. Anyway, I'm having a blast revisiting B&W!

I'd try another edit to declutter it, if possible. Have you tried a less contrast and/or less sharpened B/W version. It can help declutter a busy scene. I've had otherwise nice shots that just doesn't make the cut because of being to busy and cluttered.
