I love this. I am a center person, mostly all my photos are centered, because I am told it is not right, it is not the way of photography, it is not done. SO I do it 9 times out of 10. So I LOVE this photo, it is so nearly centered. just a slight crop on the left, would have made it a perfect centered crop. But that is NOT why I love this sot so much, The reason is, your title. It is perfect. You have the overgrown, need to be sheared sheep in perfect unison at the front, desperately grabbing at the small nodes of grass. And in perfect clarity and sharpness you have them leading them to your man, who is dressed in modern day clothing and shoes. A total contrast to the sheep, a modern type of twist. The modern twist, is the lack of interest. Not the case if this was his livelihood. There is a whole story here,. .Maybe for this challenge, turning it BW would have worked for you, and using those contrast an saturation levels in colour, before turning it BW would have made this a totally powerful shot. And a total center crop. I hold my hand/hand flat or sideways to a photo and see if a crop would work better, maybe try it, it may change your opinion, if you would like, I can show you a crop that I like better , but then again it is ONLY what I like, not other people. |
