In the wall

[SmartWombat]

I wanted something more than just a picture of the car.
So I deliberately picked the two officials to frame it.
Does it work?

I'm wondering if I should crop from the bottom to remove the sunlit grass.
Opinions on the crop?

When the grass at the bottom is gone my eyes go straight to the car when I look at the photograph. It just looks distracting or busy when it's there, Jeff

I do like the full size, but I do find the bright green to be distracting.. I like being able to see the full "frame" of the official/firefighters back.. I feel cropping out the bright spots would make the main subject too centered overall.

Perhaps a bit of burning and/or some cloning could tone down the bright spot some might help.

I do like the officials framing the subject.

I really like the framing. Works well.
I think getting them in better focus would help keep the grass from being a distraction.
The guys are bit too out of focus.

[SmartWombat]

... getting them in better focus ...
That is against the laws of physics

Hey Paul, love the framing of this one! Very newspaper like. no critique from my end, just admirations

The only thing I would crop is the top right corner, the blue seats. Other than that, I think it's great!

[SmartWombat]

I don't know quite what you mean, Tony.
Top right is a white safety crew helmet, top left is a black cap.
Do you want to crop and show me what you meant?

I think he means that sliver of a blue seat beyond the white helmet thats peaking in. I agree with grandpaw, the grass distracts a bit, and a simple crop up would make the subject more prominent. I think the out of focus officials works here.
