    I don't think this is too busy. It does invole the viewer. It is a story telling photo.

    Re: busy again

    I'd like to see this without so many shadows from whatever's there.....scaffolding? It's busy in the sense that the shadows really confuse things. Can't tell what the shot is about....the sign or the shadows.
    JMHO.

    it's a translucent sign at the edge of a stage. Crowds and the VIP area made it imposible to catch a much different angle. I'm going to try again on Sunday. But that lady won't be there. George Clinton will. 5:30pm midwest light to the left of the stage will make both shots a challenge.

    I don't think its too busy and rather like the business. The composition is a problem and hoping your reshoot can help. The right edge needs to go and I'd crop it except then you lose the woman. I wish the woman's face showed.
    Well worth a reshoot.
    Keep Shooting!

    The girl is just a distraction for me. I would like it better with the bottom cropped off just at the top of her head. It makes it look like a poster. , Jeff

    Re: busy again

    I like alot of what is here, there is just too much included. I would crop from the bottom to lose the girl as she adds nothing and from the right side to rid the sliver of sky, which also adds nothing. This simlpifies the image and makes it more interesting and appealing and less confusing, I feel.

    btw, just read Jeffs post and it seems we agree on the girl aspect.

    I think it's a really neat subject. The cross bars etc add rather than distract. However, I agree that the woman's head is a major distraction: she definitely needs to go. Worth a reshoot for sure.

    Re: busy again

    i'm going back Sunday. I'll try and find a position to re-frame the shot. I like the scaffolding, the way the light shines through. '58' Caddies ain't bad either.
    As far as the lady.......well she showed up as I was shooting so I tried to include her.
    That was life as it was that day.........
