Title: Framing question
Post by: armand on August 04, 2019, 10:07:18 am
A crop, I mean framing, question. I posted this along another in the landscape but got no input so I'm asking specifically what I need input on.

v3 is as I saw the scene but I think v2 adds a little more perspective IF the left lower corner man watching (in disbelief I would say) the 2 struggling hikers on the other ridge is obvious enough.
v1 is as shot as that's as far I could zoom in with the lens that I had, the 2 people on the left upper corner can add contrast to the struggle of the 2 on the ridge but I feel it detracts more and makes it look a little too casual; it was raining and very slippery.

#3 on all accords. Call it "Monkeys on a Rock". Could go straight into the street section. Let the viewers figure it out for themselves, and leave the interpretation hints out, ergo: no need to add an onlooker in the picture.

Monkeys obviously! Don't try to fool us with any alternative, anthropomorphic explanation, so #3.

On second thought, depends how big you print it. If sufficiently big, than the human nature of the "monkeys" will be visible, so #1 in that case. Just get rid of that white stripe in the lower left.

Funny, this is the version that I posted in landscape, I forgot about this, would be v4: https://forum.luminous-landscape.com/index.php?topic=131548.0

PS. it has too much resolution for almost any size, it's a Z7, particularly considering that there isn't much detail in it.
