How did I do..

This is another shot for a workshop I'm taking.. I had to use an everyday object and the subject cannot take up more than 25% of the frame.

I kept going back forth about keeping or cloning out the signs on the gate. I decided to keep them because I wasn't sure if you could tell it was a ball field. Should I have cloned them?

Here's the before shot.. The parents at field must have thought I was off my rocker taking pictures of the sprinklers...

As much as the signs distract the eye I'd keep them. They give SOMETHING to that blank negative space and if they weren't there it'd feel like it was just plain unbalanced and wrong.

Love the first one!! KEEP THE SIGNS!! The signs gives the eye some direction in the shot. You look at the "X" of water and then have a nice line that draws you to the left. The circle pattern is bonus! Keep it. Nice minimalist shot.
