Mice! I can't decide...

[tingeliM]

Ok, so. I did this sort of a sequel photo to this and now I can decide how I should do the final edit.

Should I leave it as single?



Or should I do it the same way as the previous shot?



And if the later option, should I take off the framing and do it without like in the clock-picture?

Does it take away the charm of the original image by making this kind of sequel?
They're not exactly the same, but the basic visual theme is similar.

What do you guys think?
Any help and opinions are greatly appreciated!

I will say "single", or the first one, but that's just me, nothing technical behind that choice.

Thanks Wooglah...I'm starting to feel a little cold about this one. I think I've just worn the concept out on this week.

Well, to think of WHY, I just came up with - it's easier to spot the mouse... Don't know if it helps, but I'm still for the first one

Def. the first one. Was that a real mouse in there?

No That's a sort of a garden prop. There's actually three mice in there. I should have placed it differently to make them more visible, but I realized that too late.
Thanks for your opinion. ^^

Lol,

When i first saw it, i liked the picture, and pose. Then you got me thinking. Is it some kind os abstract picture? Why is she behaving as if the boot was a mouse? Am i missing some concept?

Well, only then i saw that there was a tiny mouse coming out of the boot. The pictures is really cool, but, one of the main subjects (i cant seem to find more than one mouse) is barely noticeable (and its color vs the wall color makes it almost camouflaged).

Oh, and i prefer the single.However the mirrored is also pleasing to the eyes (if you cut off that upside down, which is disturbing).

Regards.

Not sure what's wrong with me, must be too late at night or something... Not only did I not see the mice, but I thought the pic was about the shoes, as personifications! Like, the nice smart clean respectable lady shoes reacting in shock to being approached by the scummy old boot, like it was trying to chat them up!! OK, I'm off to bed now...

First one. The second looks cool, but I don't think this shot needs it, it's good enough to stand on its own merits.

Hi TingeliM.....1st one for sure, the mirrored images are just distracting to my eye, especially , as was already mentioned, the upside down ones. It has my eyes searching all over the image and not finding anything....the 1st shot on the other hand kept me focused, I also agree that the mouse needs some help being seen...I probably would have missed it if not for the title of your thread...
