Living Vs. Non living - C & C are welcome

[Tejal]

Dear Friends,

I have captured a frame and then tried to crop it to form a story living Vs non living. Kindly share your views about the crop as well as give your suggestion to make the frame better.

Thanks - Tejal

Nice capture. Color balance seems a bit off on my monitor but, that can be expected with mixed light source like that. I like both but, kind of lean towards the cropped version.

Thanks Richard . Lights, may be you are right as I have kept it as it is.

I like the concept of the second image more than the first, because the first one is too busy and does not have a clear focus.

What I don't like is the muddy colours from the mixed lighting. I don't really like the brownish area on the left and the heavy door on the right either. If it were my image, I'd be more likely to come up with something along these lines.





Still not perfect, but fluorescent lights tend to give of lighting that is not particularly attractive. I tried to get the yellow / green out to some extent and give the image a crisp and cooler tone, with the focus on the model.

Thanks Manfred . The revised version is looking quite better. I will correct the color balance.
