That's life and its all subjective. I liked your thought process here though and am glad at the end that you decided to tell YOUR story of the scenes you shoot by cropping. You are creating and interpreting more than just documenting. Its more compelling I think.A Painter's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520775774106380886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5529567874968471295.post-51865681594119647282009-06-12T22:35:07.888-04:002009-06-12T22:35:07.888-04:00Hi, I'd like to comment your pictures, but i s...Hi, I'd like to comment your pictures, but i should warn you that English is not my first language. So, if it sounds a little funny, you know why...<br /><br />I think that your version of the picture is more interesting because the eyes give movement to the scene. An observer will look first to the young woman, then to the man behind her, next to the woman with the bag. All of them are looking to someone - the center of the mystery. When the observer is going to leave the picture, the boy eyes will make him be back to the scene. That is the deal. If we stop looking to the picture quickly or if we continue looking it. <br /><br />The other picture has only more depth because the poles and the perspective, but the eyes are not playing there. <br /><br />You are right. Keep doing what is right for you. Sometimes someone is more popular because he or she is good but also knows the right people. This happens often with musicians. There are great musicians that are not famous and some pop stars... well, you know.Leila Francahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14677826962616890867noreply@blogger.com
