Title: Yard Art
Post by: Bruce Cox on December 11, 2015, 03:04:07 pm

And or black and white? 

Then after Diego made his comments, my brother, David, said they should be blacker and I made them darker.

Though I readily saw that Stamper was right about the street light, it took me much longer to see kikashi was right too about cropping the right, because it meant changing from trees vs lights to lights and trees vs the dark.

Anyway, I am posting a new B&W.

I like better the B/W versione: IHMO the colors in the first image are both distracting and "looking wrong".
The monochrome one looks much more moody so it speaks louder to me.

In the first image the lamp post detracts otherwise the colour version is best imo. The B&W is also worthy.

I vote for the monochrome, but you need to do something about the streetlight. I think it would be better with some of the right-hand end cropped off as well.

I like the composition and the scene.

I want to have it both ways.
