Sluice 2: Aspects of time

This is part 2 of my response to this week's 'Get pushed' challenge introduced with Sluice 1 yesterday: to replicate and improve one of my own all-time favourites
@fbailey Something like this, Felicity?

Yes! Definitely prefer this one although I liked Sluice 1. I love b&w anyway but it's made a huge difference here. Appreciate how the increase in contrast has made it much more dramatic, the crop has helped by making the background less of a distraction from the subject, and the greenery doesn't pull the eye away but now compliments the depth of black in the sluice gate. I think you've done an impressive job here. V nice result!

I really like what you have done here.
I would also be interested on how the image would look with a similar edit but the original cropped on the left side leaving the web on the left third
I’m still learning about composition rules and how they can be broken !?!?!

@catangus Good thinking. That would seem to look balanced but less complex. Go for an instinctive choice.

I like both versions but the edited version has more drama and becomes a favourite

Fabulous seeing and super photography! Is this infrared? I really enjoy the spider’s web!

@marshwader Just losing the colour to emphasise the drama.
