Recent "Rainbow this evening" post. *Update -- Mira imagined a different version.

Original photo:


Mira's reply @ 27. Original post: "This so grand
What a lucky happening and a beautiful capture. I'd love to see this with just the rainbow and the treetops, though the car does add some visual weight to the image, as well as to the narrative of you stopping to take the photo."

I hope this was her vision.

4. I love the new version, dear Allan!

But both are superb shots. The first photo is the reality. The second photo is the dream.

8. I too like the new version.

Mira has a good eye. She too has made suggestions to me to crop my photo(s), and she was right.

10. Thank You Callalily. She does have a good eye!

9. I prefer the original. I don't like the chopped off trees in the second version.

11. Thank You for saying so Lois! I'm glad you prefer the original.

The scene is what I liked from the start. I also like the "chop crop."

Some of the best features and rewards in photography are seeing someone's art and viewers' responses, their opinions, likes, dislikes, suggestions, seen and understood in relation to a photographer's intentions, choices, philosophy.

Not necessarily any right or wrong, but what is pleasing to the eye. Or not.

If that makes any sense at all — or not.

12. That makes sense to me. I respect others' opinions.
