Two’s Company
This is the alternative composition to my earlier post suggested by my dad, who was taking the same scene with his Canon Powershot IS2. This time the man was joined by his companion, which made for a slightly different feel to the original shot. Which composition do you like?
Actually i prefer your composition, although at first glance it wasn’t my favourite. The large foreground on this one seems rather unpurposeful. both images have leading “coast lines” to the man. Furthermore, the additional companion in this one alters the image quite a bit. Hmmz.
Thanks jcyrhs 🙂 I will ask my dad to post up his version for a comparison soon. His composition might be slightly different on the Powershot IS since the aspect ratio is different from the 20D (4:3 vs 3:2). I may not have achieved completely the composition he was looking for.
Both shots have their attractions but the earlier one looks to have stronger contrast and sharpness.
Beautiful composition! Nice work. 🙂
