I'd make this into a narrow horizontal by cropping the bright grass area off completely up to but not including the long branch into the scene from the tree on the left, as we view the scene. In other words get rid of the bright foreground as your eye goes there instead of to the main subject. I suppose you could come up from the bottom and crop all the bright grass off completely. And you'll be very close to what I'm explaining. I realize others will disagree, however I've come back to this photograph a dozen times or more since you posted, taken a piece of cropping card and held it to the screen and each time, the grass goes! And the picture works far better. Your choice mon ami. ted -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Philippe AMARD Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2008 8:35 AM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Re: PAW: Phx's 8th - Alt is now cropped - Ric Thanks Ric, I guess I'm getting used to the 4/3 ratio. So when I shoot horizontal and wide, I get more of the foreground or sky than in 35mm, and tend to then forget to trim down to 2/3 I guess. But fortunately worthy LUG members are on the watch to help me remember the basics :-) Thanks again phx Ric Carter wrote: > amazing difference > > ric > > > On Feb 26, 2008, at 1:27 AM, Philippe AMARD wrote: > >> >> http://tinyurl.com/34oyx7 >> >> Thanks to both Didier and George for their kind help >> phx >> >> >> Didier Ludwig wrote: >> >>> Philippe >>> Nice, warm light on the first one. >>> For the second one: nice, too, but with a tad too much road surface >>> for my taste - as it has quite less contrast than the rest. >>> Thanks for sharing >>> Didier >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>>> PAW 08 is now up at : >>>> http://tinyurl.com/397ecq >>>> >>>> Alternate is here : >>>> http://tinyurl.com/2ktgu6 >>>> >>>> C&C welcome as usual. >>>> TIA >>>> phx >>> >>> >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> Leica Users Group. >>> See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information >>> >>> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Leica Users Group. >> See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information > > > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information > _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
