A Game of Bao.
-
I am really glad I came accross this website, it is opening my eyes a lot in what I can hopefully achieve with my photo’s.
The C&C is great and really makes me think now when I’m working on a picture both taking and editing.
These are a photo of two gentlemen playing a traditional East African game of Bao, i spotted them as I was walking the winding streets of Zanzibar and I quickly pointed at the camera and got a grunt of assent. I didn’t wish to intrude too much so just snapped off one or two pictures.
Zanzibar by Grey 2K, on FlickrI was very happy with the result, my only complaint being cutting off the guys foot, but I can’t go back now.
Since browsing PI daily i went back and did a second edit on it, I was previously happy but after taking on board a lot of comments i think the second edit improved it somewhat. Do you agree? Should I go back and take a long hard look at all my shots :)
ZanzibarEdit by Grey 2K, on FlickrThere is certainly a lot more detail in the second edit, as you say pity about
the foot but its not the end of the world, a nice shot.Darren,
I like this scene and the closer crop is better. You did the correct thing in getting a nod of approval.
Mikeyep , the 2nd version is a huge improvement …very nice …and i dont think the missing foot really makes that much difference to the shot
