West End Avenue, Ventnor, New Jersey
An interesting challenge in photographic composition. Which image is stronger? In the top image we have the nice diagonal line of the birds, leading us in, as well as the converging lanes drawing our eye to the nearer and more prominent shopping cart. In the bottom image the bird in front draws the eye more, we still have the converging lanes and a diagonal line of birds, dividing the image almost in half, and I think there’s a stronger sense of the emptiness of the parking lot. Your thoughts?
I like the second photo better. The vastness of the parking lot is front and center. The top photo looks like a crop job that was done a bit too much, and has no interesting visual point for me.
