lover optical illusions. The Japanese characters for optical illusion utilize the character for elephant. Now that is one beast that is an optical illusion if you have never seen one!

Did you find the comments about cropping helpful? Although, I am not too good of a photographer, I spent years as a photo editor but never really had to explain why I cropped or not or the reasons for the actions.



Yes I absolutely agree on the problems that cropping would create .. the photo is fabulous exactly how it was taken :)

I know little about macro photography so will not comment.

IMO The third shot is problematic. If you crop you will lose the idea of height of the window in which the girl appears. You get the idea of height from seeing the roof top and the sky and building behind the structure. Also, you would lose the cornice on the white building. Further, if you crop all you have is a girl in a window and she could be at floor level or on the second story.

So if you crop these are the problems you create. I think by simply straightening the buildings (I don't know how to do this kind of thing I have little or no PP skills)and with a good caption you have a pretty good illustration of the loneliness of city life.
