That is a very interesting composition.

I am not sure I like the square format because of the empty space on the right. I'm thinking a crop to portrait format might look better......

Note to viewers...clicking on the image will give you all the detail you want to see.
I don't know but I do know I'll be coming back to look again so that means you've got my interest up so that's a big plus.

This photo just doesn't really have any life or action to it.
Interesting but no real life.

I like this one a lot, just as it is. I like it better after seeing it LARGE. Very interesting photo inside your photo and this composition works for me.

There is nothing wrong with empty space ! The lines of the floor lead away because of the angle of the shot. They do not lead you away to anything. For this i would crop some off the top and the right side. Also if you have a polarizing filter you can get rid of that reflection on the paper i bet!

Rich,

To me, the photo laying on the ground is excellent. I like the idea and the way it's crumpled up. But the floor doesn't add anything here, and seems too sterile/cold. I would also like the image better if the foreground was entirely in focus.

Anyway, welcome to the forums !!!

Maybe it would work better on an old wood floor or something?

This photo is too much about "real life" and the blood splatters in the foreground demonstrate that graphically. You've done some interesting news reporting here richste and, I for one, would like to know the "rest" of this story.

Please share more with us about this.

My Best to You,
Penny

Those are blood spatters?
Damn! Changes my whole perspective.
Don't change anything.

Thanks for all your comments!

Perhaps someone who thinks it would look better cropped could have a go at cropping it for me, to show what you mean?
