My general habit is to edit photos right after a shoot. I did that with the sunrise photos a few mornings ago. However, there was one photo that I dismissed then, partly because the tower was neither centered nor placed effectively off-centre.
When looking back, however, I decided that I could crop the photo to put the tower dead centre. Sometimes, centering works, sometimes it doesn't. I think it works in this case.
I also returned to the kids' photo by the tree. I had posted the original version earlier but wanted to see how it would work in mono. I think it looks a little better this way: not the very best but also not bad for a quick snapshot.
Oh my, how lovely that deeper colored sky is! And I especially like the way the children are in mid-field between the textured trunk and the almost off-focus background. Yes B&W does it justice.
ReplyDeleteI like how you cropped the photo to make the tower in the center. Very clever of you. Love the colors, too. Your grandkids look so sweet.
ReplyDeleteLove that photo of the kids in nature!
ReplyDeleteI try hard to learn some things about photography from your comments.
ReplyDeleteI liked that tower from the outset, the way it's top light could match so many of the colors of the sunset.
ReplyDeleteI like hearing about your editing decisions.An seeing the results.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lesson in "Greek". I read what you said and somewhere in the back of my mind, I think I understand. The photos are beautiful, as usual. I LOVED them the first time too. The photo of the kids is priceless!
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the best! Stay Safe, my friend!
Both photos are gorgeous, and yet so different. That's the joy of photography! You are so talented!!
ReplyDeleteThat sky and tower are incredible in this picture. Good job! :-)
ReplyDeleteI like both in turn.
