Title: What might you do with images like this
Post by: wmchauncey on December 20, 2015, 08:36:59 am

I've got a ton of Egrets in Flight images as exhibited in this composition...how might you turn some/all into an object d'art?

Hi,

I'd crop (and clone out) a lot to get a more tranquil image. There are actually 2 relatively usable compositions in this image (see attached).

Cheers,
Bart

I had a failure to communicate...there are seven selected images...how might you arrange any or all?

I see, so it was already a composted image of individual specimens. Well, then the possibilities to combine them are endless. Trial and error, e.g. all similar poses and shooting angle with one a bit more different? Try using a composition 'rule' for placement, but deviate from it for one or two, to create tension.

Cheers,
Bart
