Between the flags

[StephenM (Stephen)]

Hi all,

Here's a shot of Main Beach at Noosa, taken on a trip with the family last weekend. I'm not sure if I prefer the first version with the "triangle" of yellow and red (which is what initially caught my eye), or the cropped version. What do you think?

Thanks for looking.

Cheers,
Stephen

I definitely prefer the first one, Stephen.

I prefer the panoramic version, Stephen.

The kid and tent in the bottom left of the first image has a telecompression-type effect; it's subtle, but, it's there and is somewhat disjointed from the rest of the image.

Only a person of your undoubted talents would see those effects H,
But I prefer the first one as it is more in line with occasion which holidays
The second one makes things look so far away

it looks like summer time. ps is that you walking between the flags

Thanks for your opinions Rick, Humayun, Ron and Shane. I can see what you mean about the telecompression effect H, but also agree with Ron that in the cropped version everything looks more distant. I guess these 2 effects work antagonistically...

No Shane, I was behind the camera. But the guy with the hat does look vaguely like me I guess.

Cheers,

That #2 looks like a postcard. Very nice place.
