    RingToss

    This is a shot of a ring toss game at the MD State Fair. I couldn't decide...keep the bowls of rings in the back or crop them?

    All opinions are welcome.

    As an abstract, crop it.
    As a record of the fair and the game, keep it.

    I might disagree with myself in a minute

    Dan,

    I keep looking at this and trying to answer your question, but cannot decide. I think Paul may have the answer but as he said he may change his mind. But whatever you decide I think the photo will stand its ground and win.

    nevertheless its an excellent capture and the lights really do give the bottles some wonderfull colours.

    Nicely done

    Re: RingToss

    Just did a fast crop to see... I like the original better. Seems kinda monotonous this way to me.

    What do you think?

    Re: RingToss

    Yes, repeating patterns are like that
    BUT you have that dark line about 1/3 the way up the picture to break it up.
    I think this is a great image, well spotted.
    Chunk (mr patterns) ought to be told about this one !

    I think I like the cropped image better. As much as I liked the pink of the rings, it was a little distracting to me.
    The colors in the bottles are great.
