Help me out. I’m jumping the gun on our Southern Florida trip. I should be discussing Miami, our drive up to St. Augustine, and our first day there. But…I’m curious about this photo I took that evening. After downloading and performing minor editing of the photo, it looked like this:
The photo above hasn’t been cropped other than the amount shaved off when I straightened it 0.2 degrees (because I never hold a camera level, it seems). I was very happy with this photo. I don’t often crop appropriately in the viewfinder, especially when shooting with my Pixel phone. I sent it to my buddy who loved it, but said he would crop it like this:
…and I think I see one of the issues. I don’t believe he purposefully fogged/blurred it, but it obviously looks different than the original. I like the mystery of it, perhaps more than my original. I think all in all, I would crop it like this:
It’s not often I feel pulled in several directions on a landscape shot like this. Critters, oh absolutely! Flowers present so many ways to go. And then all the artistic shots one can take with the simple everyday patterns presented by Nature and Humans. But….weigh in if you would. Constructive comments appreciated.
