David Cantor Posted August 14 Share #3 Posted August 14 (edited) I think that I would crop out the photographer and lose some of the foreground to balance the composition. David Edited August 14 by David Cantor Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jochen Dear Jochen, my reasoning is that it could be that the photographer is superfluous to the image and maybe a distraction from the swan and the woman. The swan would also appear as a greater part of the picture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

otto.f Posted August 14 Share #7 Posted August 14 Advertisement (gone after registration) If you just cut off the photographer the composition will become out of balance in my view, unless you have more space at the left in the original framing.

Disagree, it’s about the relationship between the woman and the swan. I’m all in favour of diversity of opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biotar Posted August 14 Share #13 Posted August 14 I would cut off the swans and it would increase the tension immensely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted August 14 Share #14 Posted August 14 Maybe, but it does explain the subject of their interest. The panorama crop is a good idea, but otherwise it is a good photograph as it is and well seen. IMO of course. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted August 15 Share #15 Posted August 15 (edited) The swan is too small in the frame to be the central focus of the image, so the whole story is the swan being photographed by the man while the woman (wife?) observes. If the photographer is cropped out, it's just a relatively boring photo of a woman looking at a swan. If other lenses were available, I think a better image would have been made by getting behind the photographer and using a longer lens, possible not even including the woman in the frame.

spassig123 Posted August 15 Author Share #16 Posted August 15 Thanks for discussion. I bought the M11-P with three lenses recently. It's a lot of fun to shoot with, especially this scene. Neither of them noticed me until afterwards. Jochen Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
otto.f Posted August 15 Share #17 Posted August 15 (edited) If I’m not mistaken, after all the opinions here, we did not see the original uncropped 21mm image yet. And since photography is a highly intuitive thing, the first impulse to shoot deserves some respect and consideration.
