A shot from the Frankenmuth GTG. I may be offbase on this one. My understanding of the challenge, and from looking at the first one, I thought the bench had nice 'rythm' to it, with the repetitive lines and curves. I thought maybe a tight crop on the bench could be more to the point, but I think that actually including all the brightly colored flowers of the surrounding area actually makes the bench stand out more. I think that the sharp vertical comp has some good dynamics. The fire hydrant? I feel it adds to the scene, but I can see it if voters call it a distraction. We shall see. I do wish that this were advanced, I'd clone out the base of the pole :-)
In ps-cropped, slight usm, selective color adj, levels adj, curves adj,
thanks for checking out my pic :-)
