Nice catch! However, after I looked at it a moment I decided I'd like to crop off the boy on the right. For me there's more energy in the scene that way. Maybe it's because it puts more focus on the gaze (toward you!) of the walking woman on the left. Or maybe it's because having standing characters on both sides of the frame makes bookends that close it off. Anyhow, that's it feels to me.
I debated and debated..moved the crop line in and out and could not decide. I felt it was balanced with him gone. But I can see how his presence causes the illusion of bookends. Thanks for the input.
Wonderful capture, I agree with Tom the boy on the right shold be cropped out it would creat a better capture of the 3 people But I like it I want to put thoughts into their heads haha

ReplyDeleteThanks Tom. I believe one of the reasons I kept him in was because of the "action" in the photo....everyone doing something.
DeleteI like it this way, and I can agree that cropping would emphasize the peering woman more.
ReplyDeleteHindsight's 20/20 and the more I look at this photo, now, the more I realize I should have emphasized the peering woman and cropped the boy out.
