About This Image
after a lot of rain there is always foam moving slowly on my local swimming hole. Taken this november. Mostly the patterns look quite static so I picked one where I thought the movement was implied.
Feedback Requested
Any feedback welcome. I didnt pick this one for technical perfection but more about the sense of movement. I’d like to know if you get that sense from it. All improvement suggestions welcome too.
I like the sense of flow in this image, Michael. In the original post, my eye was getting stalled a bit in that lower right corner, but your crop solved that and I do prefer that composition. Before I saw the crop, I started playing with your original because i really did like that long flow line. I just brightened the bubble patches that formed it to give it a bit more weight in the image. I’ll post it here to see how you like the idea.
Michael, I like the mix of stationary foam and the good sense of motion just above the rock. Your cropped does a good job of focusing attention in the upper part of the frame, using the leaf bits as framing elements along the bottom.
Thankyou Marylynne. The revision button has indeed appeared. I like the crop too. The original felt like there was too much going on in the lower half and taking attention from the sense of flow.
