Norfolk Rape

Something to look forward to - and the hayfever to go with it!

Cropping suggestions -edits welcome

Here's my go :

Cropped the RH tree out + cloned out the remaining edge, darkened the sky a bit, using the selective colour tool to add a bit more black + magenta into the blues, then sharpened @ 50:1:0. Voila

My effort Fangman........really nice colourful shot you got by the way

Charlotte · 18-03-2007, 01:22

It's spooky that you did that P-E 'cos I did one of exactly the same crop, but I binned it! Yours looks good tho'

Yes Fangman, this is a lovely shot you got here, well done

The letterbox crop would have been my choice for competition - judges seem to like it - or perhaps suggesting it gives them something to talk obout. The single tree in the square format works well - perhaps because I was brought up on 2 1/4 sq negatives.

Thanks for naming that crop Fangman - letterbox, of course

The reason I binned mine was I felt the tree on the RHS was a bit too near the edge for a balanced result, hence I stuck with the square crop - glad you liked it

Like the original but, hey ho, here's my attempt at "improving" (about which I'm slightly less than convinced!)

Fangman · 18-03-2007, 19:39

Wow! That jumps out the frame!

Charlotte · 18-03-2007, 19:46

Hmmm Mark, might've known you'd come along + put us all to shame

Nice one

So get dodging (or is it burning

)

**Markulous** · 18-03-2007, 19:59

Nah, not really enough pixels with which to play - and it's dodge........ and desaturate!
