Need an opinion: Picture

Post by Shaman »

I need an opinion of which picture you like best.
This is a persons land I know and we got these picture one day and they dont know. We think they would like a framed version for their house.

Which would you choose?

The colors in 02 seem a little more vibrant.

This picture is all about the rainbow, the house and the sky. You might consider cropping out some of the foreground meadow and perhaps a sliver of the sky... I think the image might pop a bit more that way. Of course, this is just my opinion... ;-)

I'm not that great with pictures.
It needs to fit into a standard frame.
Care to crop it and rehost it for a grab?

I took your 3rd image and cropped it a bit differently and brought out some more texture and contrast in the sky

Nice.
720 is a little small isn't it for 8x10 or one step larger??
Thinking one step larger.

And for the desktop 1024 is my laptop resolution.

I see you have a Photography page starting up.
PM me about print and frame if you want to try and make a sale. :shock:
I am cost conscience :wink:

Tao can probably come up with better answers about image size and framing, but you could put the picture in larger standard frame and have a mat cut to the size of the image... Michael, thanks for the assist on the cropping. You beat me to it!

Shaman,

I just cropped it small for a quicker download. If you're happy with the image I posted, I can post another for you to download that will be a bigger size. Just let me know.

Also, I agree with Toner - just take the image to a framing store and they can put a nice mat cutout over it so that it will fit in a standard frame. The photo looks best as a narrow horizontal so it can't be cropped in a standard 8 X 10 size.

Make sense?

I like Taosport's change. My personal preference is that I would also crank up the saturation a bit.

Taosports is right. The others defy the rule of 2/3. Never split your frame in half.
