I went back 3 times to this low-incoming housing board to take these 2 different shots with bread as bait. I find the backdrop and my intended composition intrigue me - that's the reason I didn't give up going back. But still I need some PP to remove some unwanted pigoens. I feel that either you like it or give these pic a miss. Your comments?

Hi David, only one image is showing up.
The blue line down the middle of the building is very distracting.
Wish I could see the first shot for a comparison :dunno

Wonder if you tried to clone out the blue line what that would look like?

Any chance you could put the first image back up?? .... Skippy :D

Two were showing. I remember peeking at this post before.

Very interesting shot. Like how the are all spread out fairly evenly.

Hi Skippy,

Thanks for your interest. Here it is caught in a slower shutter speed (nothing radically great and different). You are right that the middle blue column is distracting. Maybe other time will play with PP to make it blend with the rest of the wall.

A B&W treament will do that.

Hope you don't mind, I cleaned it up a bit. I also got rid of some of the trash in the corners, it was distracting to me. This took about a minute with PS.

I like this one. Don't take out the blue line or the trash.

Personally I also like the blue line and trash. The trash makes the picture authentic, the blue line appears to complete the picture-just can't explain why but just feel good to have it there.

But since Grumpy prefers cleaner floor, I engaged a sweeper to get the job done. Nah, just kidding, he just happened to be there later.
