I had suggested he try a B, but wasn’t going to quibble.  It just struck me 
as an image that would have different strengths in  B and in color.

Re: iPESO: Cast Aside

[ann sanfedele]

although I often suggest someone try a BW version if I think color is a 
distrction or doesn't add anything I don't remember doing it with this 
image..
in fact, I don't remember seeing it before.. I've hardly looked at mail 
for the last couple of days.. Perhaps another of the usual subjects.


But I have, unfortunately seen too many discarded masks on the sidewalk 
around here - the paper ones, though - no discarded cloth masks.

A totally different picture. Given the choice, I'd prefer the second
version.

I'd say they all work and are all different photos.  It's an interesting 
exercise to see what you can change by cropping.

As a learning exercise, I tried making the image a black and white, as
suggested by Ann.  I also cropped out the grass and Belgian blocks at the
bottom, as suggested by Paul, but went much further and removed most of the
leaves as well, to make it more minimalist and an abstract version of my
original idea.

Re: iPESO: Cast Aside

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Thanks for looking and for your insightful suggestions, Paul.

Cropping out the grass and pavers might indeed make it a better image.  For
me, they were vital to the image I saw, to show where the mask had been
carelessly discarded.  Perhaps I will make a second version, a
minimalist abstract one, without the grass and pavers, but it will be an
entirely different concept.

Re: iPESO: Cast Aside

[Paul Sorenson]

Here's my 2¢...The second image is better than the first, but, for me, 
the grass and paving stones at the bottom add nothing to the image.  Try 
cropping up from the bottom so the grass and the pavers are gone and you 
have just the leaves along the bottom border.

Thanks, Larry.

This was a quick iPhone grab, so I don't think there is much there I can
work with.
My dog was pulling me away, as he had just spotted the neighborhood fox.

Very nice.  I might like it a little better if it could be recropped so that 
the mask were closer to the diagonal between the upper left and lower right 
corners, but I don’t know if there is anything to the right on the original 
image that can be put back in.
