I'll drive; you ride shotgun - 03-25-2010, 11:39 AM


I have seen this old car out by the tree for such a long time, and finally made the time to go get a shot of it. When I got there, it was surrounded by the cows! Perfect timing, I'd say~

My question is this: Does the utility line across the top right of the tree or the top of the fence post on the 2nd cow from the left cause distraction? There is a pretty tall fence I had to try to shoot over.

Thanks for your comments.

I laughed.

I hardly noticed your two issues until you pointed them out. A little clone work will easily take care of those issues.

Until you noted the utility lines and the fence posts, I had not really noticed them.

I didn't notice them until you mentioned it.

After playing with the photo... now you really don't
notice them.

This EXACT photo was posted months ago by someone else I'm quite sure...

Sorry: it was you.

Funny, already posted it. Thanks for remembering it! I had not actually gone back and played with it until last night, when I noticed the "distractions" (or not so distractions).

It does look better after cleaning it up. I just wasn't sure if it really made a big difference. I suppose it just means that if I noticed something, then I should just fix it, no matter how small, huh?

That's why some of us are "professional" Amateurs!

Thanks!

I think the fence is fine, it is where it should be and looks natural.

The lines are easy to remove.

Definitely keep the fence; you don't want the cows to escape from your photo.

Thanks, all! I played with it more and for the most part, you are right...the minor details are not that noticable, but it does look better once removed.

It's the little things, right?!

I like that shot.
It's artistic and says something about how time passes.

Tks.
