PixQuote:
"Some photographers take reality...and impose the domination of their own thought and spirit. Others come before reality more tenderly and a photograph to them is an instrument of love and revelation."
-Ansel Adams


PixNote:
This is from my 2005 archives....I took several shot of this scene, here is a vertical shot that I posted last year, it was called Dreamy......That is to explain why I did not crop this one.

What wonderful colors, especially where the tents first meet the same-colored blue of the sky, which then gradually turns to pink on top of the frame. The cobalt fence and bright red and yellow flag and umbrella stand out against sharply against the other pastel colors. Just wonderful. Faved.

And which of Ansel's photographer types are you being here?
I guess you could make a case for both types.
The eye caught the shapes and islolated them: then they were smoothed to your vision.
Fabulous composition of shapes and colours.

Mark Tranchant  Pro User  says:

I add my vote to the cropping movement. I'd extend angelocesare's box as far down as possible without picking up the other red flag. That'd turn a good image into a great one.
