[Leica] IMG: Children at the horse sales

[Gerry Walden]

Nathan

Thank you for looking, and for your comments. It would have been easy to crop out the adults at both the taking stage and the editing stage but it would have detracted in a serious way from the intent of the image which shows the adults indifference to the children whilst so engrossed in their horses.

As an ‘old school’ photographer who grew in the days of Kodachrome etc. I always crop in the camera, and it is very unusual for me to crop in post-processing although it does happen very occasionally.

Thanks again for your comments,

Gerry

There is a butt of someone at the extreme left, one of the women is partially obscured by the thick pole…I would be tempted to crop the women away altogether to have an image with the children only. I realise that this would be a different picture from what you are trying to convey.
