Untitled

Nicely done and nice texture again. These types of pictures are very common and always a camera magnet, never the less, its well done. Those pieces of wood in the left corner bother me and I would have been tempted to move them and or retouch them out. They add tension. Some may actually like that but I'd be very tempted to get rid of them.

I thought about moving them when I was setting up but I kept them in because; 1. I liked the added tension and depth. 2. I don't like to monkey around with found scenes. I much prefer to leave as is and hope that it works out ok. Point taken though.

I sort of disagree with the monkeying with scenes attitude because we are making, not taking the picture so the elements in it are actually our responsibility. That being said, if those elements were a conscious choice that you can defend, then by all means they should be there. As for the "works out" aspect, if you're not sure, take what you took, then do another shot and move them. Then you forever have the ability to change your mind.
