I left the windows in because I liked the look of them being blown out. Plus, I believe there is a certain logic to it as well in that you can see where the light on her face is coming from giving the shot a sense of place. For me, this blunts the overexposure. Plus, I really like the look of the lantern in the window and didn't want to lose it. > I did play around with a crop that took those > elements out - undecided > on how much it damages the context vs. removing > distracting elements. > I did the same thing. After a while, I felt that none of the crops had added anything to the shot. Some may have been much more formal but a lot less interesting as a consequence. -Brendan ____________________________________________________________________________________ Low, Low, Low Rates!
