 From an assignment for the newspaper. The Harlem Wizards came into town for a show. My assignment, shoot stuff that isn't about sports at a sporting event..... well OK.
This young man was brought out of the crowd and he was allowed to show his trick to the audience. So OK it wasn't his trick, but the Wizards told everyone it was, and they helped him spin a ball on top of his finger to the delight of the crowd and to much cheering that put a smile on his face.

Week 9 - Black and White
I should go back and do these with a different lens, trying for more sharpness. Lots of potential, I think - if you like such :)

I am actually a week behind and this image only makes the week because I did the pp this week. The actual pictures were taken in January.
...and just in case someone wonders, no, I don't feel particularly negative or in a bad place :-) - not at all actually. Its just unusual I think to have acces to a real lion skull and while I took some normal shots of it, I wanted to make more of the opportunity.

nam suggested a different crop on my horse.
I actually had looked at cropping it so the eye was on the 1/3s but personally I didn't like it much, because the neck got cut off and the eras are touching the top. It looked unbalanced to me. But here is a quick edit/crop, just curious what you think.
The reason I thought my original still worked was that the whole head was on the diagonal and that would "carry it" with the sharp line of the horse against the black.
I then thought that perhaps having the eye in the "right place" was really important, so I added some more BG and changed the crop just a little. Here the eye is perfectly on 1/3s. But even here I feel there is too much empty space at the bottom, especially bottom right and not enough on top. Thats just me, perhaps you feel it is better this way?

I think you are right on both of these - the narrower crop feels too tight and the other is, as you say, heavy on the bottom. As I said initially, I actually like the original crop but would like to see some alternatives. Thanks for taking the time and for posting these.
One last possibility. What if you keep the right and bottom of the first but add a bit to the top and left - IOW add to the left as you did in the 2nd revision but not to the bottom and add just a bit above the ears . . . Now I know this will move the eye off the horizontal Ro3's but it may not matter. This is really a beautiful portrait of a horse that I know means a lot to you so I think it's worth it to get exactly the balance that feels right to you. |
