I posted this photo before. The blue umbrella was placed in the photo to balance the photo both in color and orientation. This is the Missouri Governor's Mansion. The blue catches you eye first and then you look to see where the woman is looking.

Hang Glider cropped . I think this works better. If I cropped to much the horizon would be in the center, trying for more balance .

First try

The first one shows me inginuity(sp?) as thewindowisopen on the street sdie and also the things hanging in bit back.

The other two looks like a ''well'' a small neighbourhood set up at the bottom of a well as seen from the Chateau Frontenac and all three would make neat puzzles. BTW those yellow umbrellas shade a great spaghetti house

Missed a download here..hey, first cup...give me some slack LOL...

Hi, Greg, interesting catch-I think the crop does bring out the subjects and more balance to your

image!

#3 is Value

Quote - Value is a powerful tool for balancing images. Dark elements feel heavier than light items. The higher the value-contrast (between object and background), the heavier will be the weight of the object.
