View Full Version : Bahai Gardens - Haifa
Edit: Ok, I edited the picture to make it look more similar to what it really looked like when it was taken.
I suggest that you see this on a black background: http://picasaweb.google.com/orenz16/TDP#slideshow/5392532941646480226 ("http://picasaweb.google.com/orenz16/TDP#slideshow/5392532941646480226)
...but if you are too lazy:

Very nice shot!
Pitty it wasnt a bit wider, 26mm on a 1.6x, wider next time maybe?
Still a very nice shot non the less!
Sorry but it couldn't be wider - see the black gate which is about at the middle of the picture? well, the picture was shot through a similar one and the place was also about to close so I didn't have much time for shooting there [:(]

Ah, makes sense then! I hate rushing photos lol
Errr... I hate rushing photos too, but somehow this is how all my photos are - I really don't have time for taking serious shots (I barely have time to use my camera at all [:(])

Oren, I like it, beautiful color and detail. My only suggestion would be to crop out the top 1/3 of background buildings. You only need enough of the city to show the environment the gardens are in and I think the wider format will give the visual impression you were looking for.

Yeah, and I think I know why. 522 posts explains why.[;)]
Fast Glass - that was a good one [:D]
Don - I'm going to try right now your suggestion and will post my conclusions soon.
Ok... I didn't know which is better so I tried 2 cropped versions. After comparing them side to side, I think the first crop is better. I don't know though which is better - the original one or the first cropped one, so let me know what you think:

Hmm well I think the first one (original/no crop) is the best... please let me know what you think.

I think that the first crop is the best. The proportions just look correct to me.

I like the middle one the best, but then I would [:)]
But, that aside, it's enough of a crop to lose the 2 large buildings at the top which draw the eye away from the scene, yet still large enough to get a real sense of the environment.

Thanks Oren, glad you liked my little joke...[:)]
I like the first one better.
Well Don - I preferred the original since the top part with the buildings was bigger - it adds a lot in my opinion. On the other hand you are right, the big building is distracting (which 2 big buildings? I see one... not sure about the other), so I removed it while still leaving as much of the buildings at the top as possible, there:
