Title: More Creek Bed
Post by: Bruce Cox on November 21, 2013, 09:36:06 am
I reshot.  This one is a little wider.  Please critique.

Post Script:    YOU CAN SKIP ON TO THE SECOND ONE; IT IS BETTER

FWIW and for me, the picture's too wide on the right. The visual logic ends at the end of the shadow of the second level of kelp.

Mask off from there, hiding the circular distraction, and she's stronger.

Very much like a whale.

#2 does it !
I also like the more subdued look of the second edit.
It jumped right on me - a good feeling!

Cheers

What is there on the left? Iron wire? I liked much more 0561X2bY1.jpg  (the tree)

Maybe you found a fossil?

I like the crop much more - hope you didn't mind the suggestion.

I blew it up and peeked and yeah two of them could be rusted.  There are stems too.  It is mainly honeycomb limestone.  Sorry about the tree, I have more frames of it than I have been able to work on yet, so it may return.

Thanks for the help. The second time around I included a little more of the height of each of the two frames.  The sides are now those of the left frame, plus a little in bottom right corner.   It was a sloppy pan.
