Opinions please, I know it's over done and not every ones cup of tea, but compared to yesterdays large overview shot to this smaller in close one, which do you prefer?
@ludwigsdiana@illinilass@jgpittengeru Thanks, yeah I was humming and harring over that, wanted to get the light cast on the vase in, might have to square it out more. Thanks appreciate the feed back.
Beautiful focus and light on the vase, but as others have mentioned the cut-off flowers take something away. Maybe re-crop the image to add in more of the flowers, but try and blur or soften them so they look sort of vague, and are not so much part of the image?
Just an idea, a thought - not at all sure if it'll work. Editing sure is a lot of harring and humming. One can spend hours on an image such as this one.
I'm afraid I'm a big fan of yesterday's version. I loved its overall composition. This one seems annoying to the eye - it makes you follow the leading lines up into nothing... :)
Yes, a slightly different crop or removing the cut off flowers all together is an option but call me crazy- I'm not bothered by them because I'm in love with the lighting on the vase. This tighter crop also reduces the large circular blotch of light in the full view which I didn't like. I tend to like tighter crops like this one. But in the end, it really comes down to what you want to convey in your shot- what you want to feature- that will determine whether you do the full view or a smaller portion. There's really no right and wrong when it comes to that.
@talmon@carolmw@cocokinetic@pattyblue@robz@elisasaeter@olivetreeann Thanks, I really appreciate the input. What I really find interesting is how varied the responses are, which is fab. I was not concerned about the flowers being cut off as I was just in love with the shapes of the shadows/light and textures on the vase, but it gives me reason to stop and think about framing and what I am trying to focus on and why, but also keeping in mind what is pleasing to the eye.
