Ghosts By a Pond

This is another of my "Ghost by a pond" images - I have a couple of

specific questions - is the light on the left annoying? How about the

cars etc. on the right side? Would I be better to crop this down or

paint them out?

I really like it. Very unusual. I think it could be improved by cropping out the bright light at the left but leaving the brightly illuminated tree in to keep the left bright. If doing this, I would also trim some from the bottom. I really like it just the same!

Beautiful but "unnatural" lightning (in a good sense), which saves this photo. I think it needs some cropping from the bottom of the photo, but everything else is just fine as it is now.

hi warren. i think the most valuable area of the picture is the center third. i realize that leaves a slice whose aspect ratio might feel odd to some people, but the light and cars are annoying to my eye. the center of the shot reveals a very tranquil, enjoyable image.

Hmm... I think you may be right... I've played around with cropping the image several ways, and cropping down to the middle bit does seem to work pretty well.. I've added a cropped version to this folder if you want to check it out...

 

Thanks for the comments.
