Shof Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 i like b....a closeup can be alot better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewhaji Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I prefer the first photo. There's something about the cropping in the second picture that just doesn't look right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driph Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I gotta agree with Andy, the first one just looks better for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha2004 Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 B, with cropping focused just a tad more to the left, so that the arm isn't being cut off, and some green is visible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biznotch Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 the second one is a much better composition i think. i don't like the left branch in A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12Iceman Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I also prefer B and I often hear photographers saying how its best not to have the object of focus in the exact center of the shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

primexx Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 general rule of thumb: you leave more space to the side the subject is facing, than the side he/she/it is not facing. Otherwise the picture goes lopsided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

primexx Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Now C is good. Now make a poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNay Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 A is best for a far away pic, and I prefer that more since you see more than just a monkey. B is the best for a close up. It gets to the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha2004 Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 (edited) Prime, methinks your right. Peter, do you have a requirement for the photo have to be cropped a certain way (when there is empty space) or not? Edit: Monkey now happy.

illicit Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 ^ That one gets my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nashy Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Has to be B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Rule of thirds my friend, never place something in the centre unless the situation calls for it. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yert* Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 ew neither, they scary1111! The first looks better actually. Still scary though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A4B4 Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Yeah, I'm no photographer, but I like B best. It makes you wonder what the monkey's looking at, almost like it's tired of convention--tired of leaves and ready to evolve, imho. At first it seemed a little awkward (and it still may to those who are into photography and art, etc), but it grew on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V0b0 Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 DNcornholio's is what i was thinking as soon as i saw them. the tighter crop is nice but i think the tree adds a nice line directing me to the subject. the things i don't like about the first photo are the vertical tree because it goes behind the subject and looks like it's coming out of his head and the grass because it's too in focus and distracting. with either C or imho cornholio's crop these issues are pretty well fixed. the lighting and dof are good and it sure is a nice pose. great shot btw, was it at a zoo?

mysterious Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I like the first one because you can see a lot more of the backgroundd... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.M.K Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I would say A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodel Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I think B. Using the rule of thirds often makes pictures look a lot better than you might first imagine. It would look even better if it was B but zoomed out a little so you kinda got the angle below if that makes any sense. (obviously I couldn't zoom out of your photo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
