    Tropical shower

    I found this walking along a beach path this morning and took probably 10 shots from different angles and distances. As I reviewed them at home later, I thought about MB's suggestion in my other thread about cropping tighter to remove superflous background, and came up with this:



    Any major mistakes jumping out at anyone? Should it go in even tighter?

    Neat! A closer view would bring out the pattern in the metal. A macro-type view would be interesting.

    Re: Tropical shower

    One of the disadvantages of scaling down photos to post on the forum...
    In the original size, this shower head itself doesn't quite fit on a 21"widescreen monitor.
    The details of the reflection are quite clear.


    Another veiw, pulled back to include some background scenery for relevence

    I tried the first one with a square crop eliminating the tree or whatever that is on the left and thought it looked good. For me the last crop may have a little too much cropped out, Jeff

    Re: Tropical shower

    I think thte first one is too tight a crop with the top chopped off.

    I think the use of a macro lens would work best, considering it seems like your focus is the reflection of trees in the metal. I think the best shot is the last one, with the leaves in the background.

    I do like the last photo more. The relevance is good and I always love a beach scene
