Guitar Shoot - Which Image Looks Better??

[AprilEye]

I originally liked the original because I thought it conveyed the feeling of a "long" lonely walk. Then on the other hand, I thought it might be a waste of space so then I cropped it. I like them both and I am torn and wondered which of these two looked better to you peeps! THANKS!

1.) ORIGINAL

2.) CROPPED

I like the first one but I think you went a little too heavy on the pattern overlay.

I'm not fond of the processing either.

I prefer the original out of the two options shown.

I know the processing is a bit much. It was the "old paper" option in PSE8. This is my son so he wanted the heavy old processed look. A teenage thing... THANKS!

If the client likes it, that's all that matters. :mrgreen:

Not a fan of the texture in post, nor of the blown areas ahead of the subject, but the feel seems right. An older gentleman sitting on the bench playing a saxaphone would've sealed the deal.

Just my 2¢.

I prefer the original, and I too am not the biggest fan of the texture or how blown out the photo is. I like the overall feel, but something about it doesn't quite sit right with me.

Sweet idea though!! :-D
