This is a successful shot. But...
I monitor my shots (and if I don't, others will
) to see how much they rely on what Chris calls OPA and how much of the effect is the result of my own artistic decisions. I would suggest you just run a blade from the top and see what the image is like as you keep your bottom and gradually reduce the impact of the paintings. I was interested to see how just a 3:2 landscape crop of the bottom is in many ways the best way to crop this image.--

What a wonderful capture of the relationship of rider to horse. But the loss of the top of her hand is significant both for the geometry and the clarity of the theme.

After dinner for my 50th birthday, there was a bright red Italian number parked right outside the restaurant. Every middle aged man's dream.
However, it wasn't meant for me.

Thanks, David, for your comment. I now understand this picture better. What you said is true of the hair and the vegetation. The pants and the concrete and the bench are more urban. I hadn't focused on this, the most obvious thing about the image.

In fact, the young horse (3 years) has lost his first milk-teeth. And the happy owner shows us the evidence of this fact

- KISS
- Rule of thirds
- Wherever you place the subject, it's vitally important to leave some breathing room around it.
- Lines of motion are like rails for the viewer's eye. to direct exactly how the viewer will experience the image
- symmetry
- choice of lens. In general, when you want to create a feeling of space or depth, a wide angle lens is what you want. This allows you to get low and close to your foreground object. That will create a dramatic perspective, which in turn gives that feeling of depth and three-dimensionality to the image. On other occasions a telephoto is what's called for, either to balance the sizes of objects in the frame or to compress the perspective.
- In landscape photography, having an interesting foreground is very important
- the decisive moment

The problem for me may be that the high contrast foreground is so arresting my eye doesn't want to leave it. The contrasting light on the subject just pales in comparison.fad wrote:

Over here in France, Italy, Spain, Germany... I predict civil war or revolt, if we try to get their hands off the wheel... foot off the gas. You could compare it to separating Americans from their guns. Liberty: It means the right to out-drive the others. (Have you ever driven in Europe?)

A very nice picture as well, but somehow my eye wants to see the circle of her arms with breathing room on top and bottom.solveproblems wrote:

The picture is not about the structure nor about the man, but about ….the sun!fad wrote:

Oh no. Please... keep Chris and his ocd knife away from my masterpiece! As imperfect as you may find it, it's nothing if not for the relationship between this man and his quietening angel. My heart wouldn't bear the pain of seeing her excised, him looking up for comfort and finding... nothing. Can't we imagine some other solution?TroiD wrote:
