Did you only crop? It also appears more saturated, brighter and sharper than the cropped version on page 1.
Oh, definitely needed some color correction.

Thanks for the kind words, Linda. Something as simple as cropping can change an image dramatically. I know my aunt, who has collected insulators for over 50 years, would appreciate this photo. I certainly don't find it boring now.

It's not that a crop doesn't work, I think your cropped image is now too tight. Here is my slightly wider crop that adds more interest, doesn't get rid of the bricks and tells a better story ... IMHO.

You hit it on the nail, my wife said the same thing... 
Now as to why...
These things are disappearing and when I was a kid (19) I worked at replacing them. I was a electrician then.

I might crop a bit tighter with more emphasis on the insulator. My aunt started collecting them in the late 60's for whatever reason, now my cousin tells me she has nearly 3,000 of them.

Well, I finished my version of what I originally saw in the parking lot that day. I guess I'll post it after the contest ends.

Trying to get a handle on this compositing idea. ... (show quote)
It works just fine. This is really an exercise in what to do with unremarkable photos. When I shot these, I already knew what I was going to use them for. All I needed was decent shots that I could build upon.

Gotcha ... not real horses.
It's not everyday you come across a $300,000 vehicle in Gallatin, TN. This is an Aston Martin Vanquish that was parked next to me a few weeks back. Full disclosure: I actually did a cool design for this car that I posted here a couple of weeks ago, but NOT this photo. I’m also going to create another version of this very photo for a cousin of mine for Christmas. However, I’m really interested in what others will come up with. Who will create something unique that's outside of the box?
Have fun!

Thanks, but after hitting send I thought that it may be on the minus side of good taste. Was a lot of fun assembling it though.
Dang, I missed it. Timing is everything ...

That’s a great idea, Erich! I wish I had thought of that.

Ok, so I'm not Van Gough....I just couldn't resist turning your nice beach scene into a Volcanic Hell. Wish I could paint better. Might have to take some lessons from Donolea. lol Had a lot of fun with this, though. That's a win in my book.
