A nice place for lunch - if it wasn't so cold. C-Lux.

Interesting perspective.

John, very very nice image honestly, but if this where mine...... . Best Azzo

jmr · 11/04/06, 01:22 AM

Azzo,

don't tell me, let me guess - it'd look great in B&W

Thanks, as usual, for the input.

azzo · 11/04/06, 01:30 AM

SORRY John. you're wrong this time, but i don't blame you. Have another go. Best Azzo

azzo · 11/04/06, 01:34 AM

Hey wait a minute, it also looks good in B&W with some play in mid tones, but it's not what i meant.

jmr · 11/04/06, 01:36 AM

Azzo,

around town today I took mostly B&W with just the occasional colour shot - I'm pleased that you like this one in colour.

You must think it could do with a different crop?

azzo · 11/04/06, 01:39 AM

Yes John. You're getting to know me. I'd get rid of all the....... . Best Azzo

jmr · 11/04/06, 01:41 AM

a) buildings in the background
b) leaves
c) chairs
d) none of the above

azzo · 11/04/06, 01:42 AM

Letter......... a, and the black thing on the right. What an image John...cropped. Best Azzo

jmr · 11/04/06, 01:45 AM

Yes, you could well be right

I guess I left them in to add some small amount of tension, by their rather strange perspective.

Thanks for taking an interest - I appreciate it.

azzo · 11/04/06, 01:53 AM

If you've time, try the crop on black background in photo shop, and you'll see what i mean.Best Azzo

mhanke · 11/06/06, 11:36 AM

I agree with Azzo: the buildings in the background, even more so the brighlty lit zone in the leaves distract from what I think was your primary subject: the graphic play of seats, tables and the tree's shadow. Therefore I would crop the whole top of the tree, to 2:3 format, so the view is concentrated on the "place for lunch".

Best regards,
Marcus

Great colours John.

Which town is it please?

Cheers,

Ed

jmr · 11/06/06, 10:30 PM

Azzo, Marcus,

hope you like this more severe crop

John

I have to say the new crop is seriously much better...!!

jmr · 11/06/06, 10:37 PM

Robert,

I hate to say it, but I agree with you

azzo · 11/06/06, 10:44 PM

THANKS FOR TRYING OUT THE CROP JOHN. I LOVE THIS IMAGE...EVEN IN COLOUR
