Clone...or Not

[Greg McCary]

Should I kill the graffiti? Wouldn't you think I would be scared of heights?LOL

[armando_m]

I think the answer depends on what you want to do with the image, if it is only for critique and share in the web at this size, I wouldn't mind the graffitti

For printing or any other 'more serious' use, yes I would clone it

I'm gonna have to agree with armando on this one.

It doesn't really bother me, but if you're gonna print it I would clone it.

Probably will be printed, I do have a clean edit.

[Greg McCary]

I added the clean edit.

The graffiti can be an artistic statement, positive or negative message (humans were here, achievement or ruination,etc.). So that will depend on your message.
But this is a very nice shot either way. I would love to see this exact shot over the seasons.
Are you near Lookout Mountain? This looks somewhat familiar, like maybe west or southwest of Chatanooga.
And, is this HDR?

This is located in Collinsville Alabama at Cherokee Rock Village. You can Google it for more info. This is a Pano stitched in CS4, no HDR. That is Lake Weiss in the distance.

Duh....ok, the location was only in the title (of the other shot)...lol!

The clouds were adding so much to the shot, I thought there might have been some manipulation. Good catch.

Other than cloning the graffiti just some small adjustments in LR were made, saturation, contrast, claity ect.

Tough call. Depends on the statement you're trying to make. Graphically, I think it's kind of cool. It adds something. But it's so incongruous to the rest of the scene that most people might not "get" it (I'm not referring to any particular meaning, but rather artistic merit. I think it adds interest, but many may not).

[Greg McCary]

Thanks all and I understand. The guys running the printer are avid hikers/bikers and they hate graffiti so my guess is they will like the clean edit. But it was there.

[Grandpaw]

Greg, you still have about four letters left at the bottom right graffiti that needs to go if the use the edited version, Jeff

Yes definitely clone for me. It loses the natural beauty with that graffiti, i think.
