Lots of construction going on around Cardiff.  Sunny days are good for picking out the contrasts. This picture was taken through a fence but I liked the effect of the strips either side.


I wonder if I should have cropped out the bottom third though?

You could have cropped this in several ways - all of them valid. Being a hard-edge fan, I'd probably take out the OOF sides (film script shorthand for Out Of Focus).

If this is how you saw it, then that is how it should be.

I like the OOF sides for this one because it shows that I was peeking through something.  Usually though, I'd opt for hard edge.

I like the OOF sides too. I think if there's a problem it's the way the bottom stairs don't include the - er - bottom stair, which possibly makes the composition look slightly incomplete.

If I have time I'll take five or ten slightly different views of a scene like this and keep the one that works best. It's not always obvious until later which one will work - and sometimes none of them do.
