Borderline "Street", I know. A wider view than we usually see
in this forum, but it has a person in it. And, a person that kinda
reflects the "The Fab Follies" theme.

    nice catch on this. Kinda a retro feel to the lady wearing a 70'sh style of dress.

    Tony, would you mind if I borrowed this and posted my own take on it?

    Just thought this crop was a little more interesting. I really like the original too, I should say, i just envision it as this.

    I really don't like the tighter crop. It squeezes in the elements.
    While some photos work best with a tight crop, I think you have
    to leave some space around the main subject so it is not
    crowded. The dull red brackets (?) at either side of the sign
    are touching the edge of the cropped version. I don't care
    for that.

    You have to decide "What is the image here?". To me, the
    image is the front of the theater with the woman in her fab
    dress and legs akimbo...not just the sign and the box office.

    It's a very good shot. I agree with Tony that the original crop is just fine. Quincy's version seems to be more than just a crop--it seems to pop more. Maybe contrast and vibrance boost? Dunno, but I like it.

    I agree the second crop is too tight, but I do think the crop needs to be symmetrical, and the image feels like it is leaning a bit left to right.
    This is a very cool image.

    IMO the faint horizontal line at the bottom of the awning splits this image in two. I would crop the top of the image just below the wires and just above theater . I think this would make a stronger more balanced image.

    Thanks, Tony. It is a bit tight. I think I was looking at the slight unevenness in the horizon that I perceived and then I got carried away.

    As for the boost in pop, that was contrast work and then the literal preset of "Punch" in LR3, haha.
