Editing Question On This Image

This image is new taken 2-28-10....I am wondering do i edit out that yellowish twine type stuff on the corner or do i leave it?....

B/W conversion on this i thought of but i like the heavy rust color it speaks more i think...The yellow twine stuff on the corner is like a small island of character and color in the bleak rustness....

The gray in the lower corner i am going to clone out....

I was wondering what anyone else thought of the twine....




Taken in a industrial setting of old equipment mostly no longer used.......

Hi Erik,
I thinking the piece of twine doesn't add anything to the image. I'd try to edit it out.
Sadly, that's all I can offer, as many here are far better at PP than I.
I hope someone offers a try. I'd like to see (and learn from) the result.

And...nice image!

Hi Erik,

Often, the aberration is the attraction, but not always. Here I think it adds to the experience.

Cheers,

Erik,

This is one of your best pictures I have scene. Just being shown this I'd have thought of Jim Collum's work. Also the file is a tad bigger and we don't feel cheated! Good job!

I'd be thankful for it. It's important for the picture. At least one remnant of softness.

This would not make it as well as B&W not only for the reason you state, that the inherent rust color tells the story, but also because of the paucity of anything but dark tones make one think twice before choosing that way of presenting the picture.

Just select that whole corner, add a feathering of 20 pixels and decrease the brightness.





I hope to see more of the shoot. I wonder why you cannot keep the EXIF info. Dd you shoot it in RAW or just jpg?

Erik,

If you are going to steal digital images, don't pick Jim's photos, LOL! He remembers the entire file off by heart and would catch you red handed and feed you to his pet sharks!

I hope you will simply show us more of yours, instead!

And what part of Asher's sarcasm/joking wasn't obvious?

Cheers,

Erik,

To answer your question. I would be tempted to crop it about half an inch off the bottom, to take out the grey pipe. For me, the accent then appears to move to the yellow tuft and give a different feel to the image.

By the way, I love the texture of this.
