Title: Silhouette of Munich
Post by: Roger Calixto on August 14, 2010, 09:26:48 am

What do you think? Should I re-crop it to exclude the bottom left distractions? I've already removed 3 big TV antennae, not the best job, but it's a start (you can see the bottom of all 3 posts).

TIA

I know Russ will get me on this, but I'd crop the ugly left side and straighten the photo as a whole.

If it were me, I'd crop out the left and leave the rest as is.

I would crop it square. The left side is not really pleasing, I agree with shutterpup and Haraldo.

Square!  Now there's a good idea...

Thanks for the comments!

Hows this? Too crowded? That's kinda why I left the left part in the first time... but this isn't so bad methinks =)

I'm still uncomfortable with the right side leaning in as it does; the spires look like they're about to topple. Result of a wide angle lens I suspect. ;)

I agree with your comment. I'd try to correct the "leaning" and see if it looks more natural. The square crop is an improvement over the orignal image.
