Interested in your thoughts on the following image in its two variations.

Specifically, regarding treatment, subject matter and crop.





Let's try again.

I can't see the images.

Ok, I don't really know why - no security settings on my gallery in Smugmug.

Do you have external links set to No rather than Yes in the settings for that gallery?

No - set to "yes"

OK I can see them now (but they're on flickr instead of SmugMug I see).

My comments - I prefer the landscape crop because I see the entire RHS pear. I think the lightin works well, BUT (and it's a big but) that brown blob in the background distracts me in both images.

I like the tones here but keen to see more of the pears.

I keep seeing boobs. Must be a trick photo.

Matt, I think this may say more about you than the photo?

Thanks for the feedback, folks.

I prefer the secon, but the image doesn't come
accros to me a balanced. There is more edge to
the left than to the right.

I suspect that he's saying that you have a nice pair.

My brother had it on vinyl but I had the separate LPs "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" and "A Saucerful of Secrets". Oh, you weren't talking about Pink Floyd.

Vinyl? Where's the silver halide version?

here's my take, there is no point for the eye to focus on, nothign that pops out and locks the viewer to the image, that makes any/all of the PP treatment a moot point in my book.

Here's an alternative idea for teh second one, recover the highlights a bit, crop to get the one of teh brightest parts in the intersection of the thirds then push the existing PP further to remove more light detail in the image, hence leaving teh viewer with less to look at and more to think about.
