SOOC for comparison purposes only

This is the original - pre-cropping and pre-editing - of a photo posted for get-pushed... not sure if it's helpful for comparison purposes or not...

Edited version is here: http://365project.org/northy/365/2012-12-04

Thanks @northy .....think I like this one better...more vibrant. But you gotta try or you never learn...and I am NO expert (very meagre novice person using a camera!)

[Sharon Lee]

why did you choose to take the jetty out? I think I prefer the original too..

[☠northy]

@lynnb well - i'm not much of an expert either when it comes to that ;p i also prefer the sooc shot (altho' i think the water looks a smidgeon more vibrant in the edited version)...

[☠northy]

@sugarmuser i dunno... it seemed like a distraction? the crop aside, i find the edited version kind of washed out...

[Sharon Lee]

I always find that cropping strips value from a shot. You always lose resolution

[Brenda T. Schwartz]

Editing is fun but I typically prefer the original. It's reality.

[Kerri]

Cool

[Maggiemae]

It's balance as well as @sugarmuser what Sharon says! However it in the eye of the composer here!
