Did you just moon me?

[Jae]

hehe Got your attention? I took this the other day because I though the moon looked really nice behind this old house. Now I'm not so sure? Does it work or should I just clone it out? What about the clouds are they distracting? And once I uploaded it I noticed a bit of a pink hue in the sky do you see it and what do you think?

Okay that's probably enough questions. LOL The original is here.



It's obviously been PP but here's the EXIF:
Camera: Olympus E-510
Exposure: 0.017 sec (1/60)

I like the crop on this one but loved the colors in the orginal. To answer your question, NO I would not clone it out. The moon really adds flare to this

I like the original better...is that bad? BUt for some reason the moon does not work for me in the pp version - dunno why... And its just my opinion...

I also like the colors better in the original, but I understand why you lightened it up. Could you try just lightening the building, without losing the pretty blue & pink?

oooohhh....pretty photo. i have to go with the others and say that i like the color in the original better, but the crop is good! feels....lonely.

Definitely keep the moon!

personally.. i miss the colours of the sky in your crop.. but i absolutley love the feel of your edited version..

i find that in the original the "out house" keeps distracting me.. i see all three elements and moon, house, outhouse.. and get all discombobulated.

in short i'll re-iterate.. i love the second one. simple.. clean and thought provoking.

to improve the original i'd clone out the moon... its too small and bright.

in the cropped photo the moon is perfect and the picture wouldn't be the same without it. i would have liked to have seen a slightly more intense vignette, partucularly in the sky. (is that how you spell it)

beautiful..

Wow okay thanks for all your opinions! I'm gonna go back to the color one then! LOL

I vote for crop plus orig. color.

Well here is the color version, and I got rid of the moon, lightened the house a bit, and added a vignette.
