[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 24828, member: 6548"] This picture...like many of my pictures...and many other amateur's pictures...is sort of an object in the middle of the frame deal...I am so trying hard to get away from that. The crop does make it more interesting. One of the things I am beginning to see from Ken's crop is maybe it would be best to do away with the grass entirely and just have sand and water...two really good color tones - sand and blue. Yeah a lower angle of attack and closer in with a telephoto sounds like a great strategy. Also I think some more "magical" light aka early morning or late evening to accentuate the form of the boat... Good suggestions...it would make it a more interesting photo. I am going to have to go down to the pond soon and play around I guess! PS...the shot is taken from the adjacent bank which is considerably higher than where the boat is resting...so indeed Ken you are onto something with the angle...it is steep...also at this time I was trying to open my lenses real wide...could have stopped down for more DOF and a sharper image I think. Done with 135mm/2.8 and probably fuji 100 superia reala or pro 160s or h... Photography sure is a convoluted endeavor when one tries to be serious about it... [/QUOTE]
