Praying for Rescue?

[Pete Askew]

The wall detail shot I mention in http://www.realphotographersforum.com/general/11018-mining-gap.html.

Th geometry is still bugging me with this shot and I will probably continue to play with the framing but here it is anyway.

Leica M9 + 35mm Leica Summilux M f1:1.4. ISO 160, 1/60s at f1:2.8. PP in LR and Nik ColorFX 4.

Very interesting, but I can see your problem. Will you 'cheat' and pull it into straight lines, clean angles? I quite like its un-rule-iness.

 

[Pete Askew]

I might. The main problem I think is the illusion of non-straightness caused by the bottom of the frame of the shutters. I suspect I'll go back to the raw file and start again. I started editing this on the train from Prague and it was a bit bumpy and so hard to get right.

A slightly heavier border might help to contain it too.

I know the problem and it's exactly what happened with my 20 foot seagull and the De la Warr exterior. I finally figured out the repairs were crooked and I selected and straightened panel by panel. It did feel good once it was done though

I like the composition and its message, including the title, Pete.

Me thinks you worry too much about the " non-straightness" thing. I like it the way it is...but the left side would also make a nice panel all by it self.
