Hey guys, I took this photo yesterday and i really like it and I like it in black and white... but there is something that just strikes me as being off about this photo. I think it's the patch of grass in the upper corner! I've tried cropping it in different ways but I just can't find something that I like! Do you guys have any suggestions? Do you even like the image? Help me guys! :) Evan



PS do you think I should just go reshoot this image and try and find something I like?

I like it also. Nice patterns and the way the light hits it. What about doing a selection on that upper corner and just darkening that area a bit?

I like the image. Nice DoF, great focus, lighting, and cool subject.
I don't think that the grass is overly distracting, but what constantly draws my attention is the dent/twist in center point of the grill.
Too bad - it would be a very symmetrical shot otherwise (not that needs to be, just my opinion).
Nice shot :O)

Hi, if the grass distracts you, it is fairly simple to fix it in post processing, using for example the "burn" functionality to darken it, or a simple blurring brush.
